Discover how Expleo defined a new centralised EE architecture enabling Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) concept. 

Who is the client?

Our client is one of the world’s leading automotive French manufacturers. 

What was the problem?

Our customer required assistance in defining a centralised EE architecture for the first time, enabling the Software Defined Vehicle concept for its new generation of vehicles. 

What was the Expleo solution?

We deployed a team of experts who collaborated with the customer on various aspects of the new centralised EE architecture throughout the V-cycle, from definition to industrialisation.

Firstly, we defined the EE architecture, including functional specifications, EE feature definitions, block diagram conception and validation plans.

Secondly, we assisted in establishing the network, facilitating the definition and conception of the message set, outlining communication requirements specifications, and validating the network layer protocol validation for ECUs.

Thirdly, we deployed this new EE architecture onto a vehicle, guaranteeing seamless integration by planning convergence between systems on a project vehicle planning to conduct intersystem validation. Additionally, we conducted thorough testing validation of the wiring.

How did that solution help?

Defining functional specifications and network for a new centralised EE architecture in SDVs offers several benefits. It ensures complexity mastery, quality enhancement, cost optimisation, and accelerated time-to-market. This approach aligns with international automotive standards, ensuring the architecture meets safety requirements and vehicle needs. Moreover, it acts as a blueprint for development, testing, and maintenance, guiding design and validation plans. It’s crucial for after-sales and product improvement, addressing safe connectivity and agile software development challenges in SDVs. Overall, it’s fundamental for successful SDV EE architecture implementation, where adaptability and safety are paramount.

What were the results ?

The customer was really satisfied, and the new EE architecture was ready to proceed with the final industrialisation phase before the serial life.  

In parallel, the diagnosis team worked on the entire V cycle (engineering system, after-sale, and plant), from the requirement specification building through to the embedded validation of diagnosis resources.  We were also involved in the diagnosis production management project. 

Could it work for me?

If you are ready to embrace the SDV concept and reap all its benefits, it can undoubtedly work for you too.
