Design of an OSEK/VDX and OSGi-based embedded software platform for vehicular applications

This paper addresses an OSEK/VDX and OSGi-based embedded software platform for vehicular applications. Basically, it is a wireless and networked distributed service system and consists of (1) an OSEK/VDX-based Vehicular Application Specific Embedded Operating Systems platform; (2) an OSGi-based automotive service system which is composed of automotive central service platform, remote vehicular service platform and vehicle/home interactive platform. The system is deployed by integrating the functions of communication, navigation, entertainment, diagnostics, monitoring and many others. Meanwhile, by using wireless network, it realizes the interconnection among vehicles, home service platform, remote vehicular service center and roadside systems.
