MASTER AUTOSAR THE ARCHITECTURE BEHIND THE SOFTWARE-DEFINED VEHICLE.
FROM CLASSIC ECUs TO ADAPTIVE, SAFETY-CRITICAL, CYBERSECURE VEHICLE PLATFORMS-DESIGN THE SOFTWARE THAT DRIVES THE NEXT GENERATION OF AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS.
Modern vehicles are evolving into highly connected, software-defined computing platforms. At the center of this transformation is AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture)-the architectural foundation for developing scalable, reusable, interoperable, safety-critical, and secure automotive software.
AUTOSAR Architecture & Design is a comprehensive 550+ page engineering reference that takes you from AUTOSAR fundamentals to advanced ECU integration, Adaptive Platform architectures, functional safety, cybersecurity, verification, production deployment, and next-generation Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).
The book provides a structured treatment of both AUTOSAR Classic Platform and Adaptive Platform, explaining not only what the technologies are, but also how they fit together within real automotive software architectures.
You will explore:
- AUTOSAR architecture, methodology, system design, ECU extraction, SWC design, interfaces, configuration, and integration
- Classic Platform application architecture, RTE, BSW, MCAL, AUTOSAR OS, ECU state management, and resource management
- CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, Automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP, COM Stack, Network Management, UDS, DoIP, diagnostics, and OBD
- NvM, MemIf, Fee, Ea, Flash integration, data consistency, and ECU memory management
- Adaptive Platform architecture, execution management, application lifecycle, manifests, POSIX environment, and service-oriented communication
- SOME/IP, ara:: com, Service Discovery, DDS, network binding, and Quality of Service
- ISO 26262, ASIL, safety mechanisms, freedom from interference, watchdogs, and safety architectures
- ISO/SAE 21434, Secure Boot, HSM, secure communication, secure diagnostics, and OTA security
- ECU configuration and integration using Vector DaVinci, EB tresos, and ETAS ISOLAR
- Unit, integration, system, and vehicle testing, ASPICE compliance, validation, and production release
- Domain and zonal architectures, HPC platforms, AI integration, cloud-connected vehicles, and the future of AUTOSAR
Designed for automotive software engineers, embedded systems engineers, AUTOSAR developers, ECU architects, system architects, functional-safety and cybersecurity professionals, integration engineers, testers, technical leads, and engineering students, this book bridges architectural concepts with practical engineering considerations.
Whether you are entering the AUTOSAR ecosystem, strengthening your Classic Platform expertise, transitioning toward Adaptive AUTOSAR, or preparing for the Software-Defined Vehicle era, this book provides a comprehensive technical foundation for understanding the architecture, engineering workflow, safety, security, and integration challenges of modern automotive software.
Build a stronger understanding of AUTOSAR. Architect better ECUs. Engineer safer, more secure, and software-defined vehicles.
