CLADIS: Software Platform for Digital Cluster and Informational Driver Assistance Applications

As digital clusters become more popular in vehicles, new ways are being discovered by engineers to be able to create digital clusters that are safer and that have more complex functions. However, as the functional complexity increases, more safety related efforts are required to comply with the automotive safety standards. In order to overcome this problem, safety-critical and non-safety critical software could be isolated within separate embedded platforms. With this paper, we present CLADIS, a Linux-based software platform that is used for creating digital cluster applications with complex features. The software platform allows the development of informational driver assistance applications on top of digital clusters. Presented software platform keeps non-safety critical software isolated from the safety critical vehicle software and provides capabilities such as 3D rendering, safe communication, deep learning, traffic sign recognition.
