Implementing TSN Within the Automotive E/E Architecture

On September 26/27 the TSN/A Conference of the German trade publications Elektronik Automotive and Computer&Automation in cooperation with AVNU Alliance will take place for the second time in a row at the Mövenpick Hotel Stuttgart.

A high performant network is essential on the road to automated driving. Automotive Ethernet is the first choice as a physical medium in the on-board network – above all due to the high data rates. In addition to high data rates, automated driving functions also place new demands on vehicle data communication in terms of latency and reliability. The Audio-Video Bridging (AVB) originally conceived for the audio and video industry and named after it was no longer able to meet these requirements – and thus marked the birth of Time-Sensitive Networking.

But what does this mean for the automotive industry? What new possibilities do TSN protocols open up in the automotive network and what demands will they place on automotive manufacturers? These and other questions will be discussed at the TSN/A Conference.

TSN is far more complex than AVB. The challenges that arise when an OEM like Jaguar Land Rover wants to implement TSN into the E/E architecture will be discussed in the keynote speech of the Automotive session, for example. Many IEEE standards solve various problems, but not all of these standards are necessary. Support is available for low latency requirements, reliability, planned traffic or dynamic configuration. Presentations from Continental, NXP, National Instruments, Vector Informatik, Spirent or Ruetz System Solutions offer a great value for the audience.
