Aspects of Migrating from Decentralized to Centralized E/E Architectures

As centralization of automotive E/E (Electrical and/or Electronic) architectures becomes reality for future vehicles, it is crucial that existing assets be reused in the most efficient and effective manner. We report on our experience developing a new centralized E/E architecture for a propulsion domain, and migrating the corresponding propulsion elements of an existing decentralized, CAN-based architecture to a prototype of the centralized …
