UML-modelling of automobile electronic components based on the ordering concept for vehicle control systems CARTRONIC~direct R

摘要

The demand for more security, economy, and comfort as well as for a reduced environmental impact increases the importance of electronic components for vehicles. The development of such systems is determined by the requirement of improved functioality and at the same time the demand for limited costs. In order to fulfil these demands and taking into consideration the increase of complexity and the melting together to a Car-Wide Web, Bosch is developing an ordering concept called CARTRONIC~direct R. This concept is supposed to be open and neutral regarding automotive manufactures and suppliers. The analysis of vehicle control systems via this method is based on formal rules for structuring and modelling. The result is an object structure of logical components with defined interfaces. The mapping of these results in the object oriented Unified Modelling Language (UML) completes the analysis phase of the software development. This development is follwed by an automated continuous computer aided development process, to reduce time and cost of the product development.
