Course Objectives:

This course provides a thorough and comprehensive introduction to automotive multiplexed network buses, covering the technical principles, components, implementation issues, applications and as well as architectures for vehicular communication systems, smart and connected vehicle and the Internet of Things.

Course Content:

Presents a thorough coverage of the controller area network (CAN) protocol, including information on physical layers, conformity problems, hardware and software tools, and application layers.

Gives a detailed description of the new local interconnect network (LIN) bus, setting out its developments, properties, problems and ways to overcome these.

Examines the existing and emerging network buses such as time-triggered CAN (TTCAN), FlexRay and X-by-Wire.

Explores the possibilities for linking the various buses that are discussed, explaining how the Fail-Safe-System basis chip (SBC) and other gateways are designed and constructed.

Analyses wired and wireless internal and external serial links, including Safe-by-Wire plus, I2C, Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST), remote keyless entry, tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) and Bluetooth.
