AUTOSAR, ISO 26262, and Safe DDS

The AUTOSAR consortium has standardized DDS as a key protocol for Intra-Vehicle Communications, ensuring robust and reliable connectivity within the automotive industry.

AUTOSAR is the standardized open system architecture for automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs), offering two distinct platforms: AUTOSAR Classic and AUTOSAR Adaptive. These platforms provide a flexible, layered software architecture for a wide range of vehicle applications. AUTOSAR Adaptive, in particular, tackles the challenges of high-performance computing within vehicles, ensuring seamless connectivity and enabling continuous software updates essential for next-generation vehicles. It also serves as a powerful integration platform for software from multiple suppliers.

Because of the automotive industry's safety-critical requirements, the software components of the AUTOSAR platform should be developed following the rules of ISO 26262, an exigent specification for functional safety in automotive systems.

eProsima Safe DDS, our implementation for Safety-critical systems, has been developed for the automotive sector and is ISO 26262 certifiable.

Vulcanexus: ROS2 & Fast DDS 

ROS2 is often used for Fast prototyping in the automotive sector, and there are entire autonomous driving frameworks based on ROS2, such as Autoware.

eProsima provides Vulcanexus, a ROS2 distribution containing all the components eProsima develops for this ecosystem, and always the most updated version of Fast DDS.

Why eProsima?

With proven experience in the automotive industry, eProsima is trusted by several leading automotive manufacturers and Tier-1 providers, as well as a growing community of open-source users.

Also, several automotive frameworks use DDS or ROS2 as their middleware, such as Apollo.auto and Autoware.
