This paper presents the design and development of ECU simulator in order to verify automatic firmware update system of ECU SW on the vehicle. We designed and developed general-proposed ECU simulator as devide into HW and SW parts. HWadopt 32bit MPU, CAN, LIN, LCD, and touch-pad button to satisfy general-proposed ECU level. And SW constructed as finite-state-machine structure in order to support HW spec. We developed ECU manager which deliveries update data to verify validity of operation. And we tested ECU simulator with ECU manager. For test of validity of ECU simulator, we set 4 scenarios between ECU simulator and manager. As the result, we confirmed validity of operation in ECU simulator for automatic SW update system.

Modern vehicle has a lot of ECU(Electronic Control Unit) products to control many parts such as engine, transmission, brake, body and so on. ECU quality is one of important factors related to vehicle quality and driver's safety. Based on Bath-tub curve which presents failure rate during product lifetime, we designed and applied Accelerated Run-in Test into manufacturing line by simulating stress amount to ECU and developing the required software and efficient test equipment for mass production. This test makes ECU products stressed through electrical and thermal stresses under excessive driving condition, which induce potential initial failure of components in the ECU during production. The outcome until these days proved that Acceleration Run-in Test have reduced initial failure rates and increased quality of ECU products in the field outstandingly.

In order to collect vehicle internal diagnostic data, it is necessary to collect diagnostic data of ECU (Electronic Control Unit) included in various automotive parts. Diagnostic communication can be used to collect diagnostic data of ECU. In this paper, the method of collecting diagnostic data according to ECU function through standard diagnostic communication and the diagnostic communication module were analyzed. Among the standard modules of AUTOSAR, a standard for automotive electronics used by many automobile manufacturers, the diagnostic communication module was studied, and the process of diagnostic data processing through ECU was studied.

통합 ECU를 구현할 시, 구현단계 이전에 어떤 코어를 적용 시킬지를 판단하여 추후 발생할 수 있는 비용, 성능, 소요 시간 등의 문제점을 미리 대비할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차량 통합ECU에서 싱글코어와 멀티코어 프로세서 중 어떤 프로세서를 적용하는 것이 효율적인 것인지 판단하는 연구를 진행했다. 통합 ECU의 기능이 결정된 경우, 구현이전의 설계 단계에서 기능적 요구 사항들을 고려하여 SW Task를 HW 모델에 적용했을 때의 효과를 분석했다. 분석 된 결과를 토대로 통합 ECU 모델의 싱글 및 멀티 코어 방식에 따른 성능을 비교했다. 본 논문에서 제안한 분석 방안을 적용하면 구현 단계 이전에 통합 ECU에 필요한 프로세서의 성능을 파악할 수 있다. 또한, 통합 ECU 구현 비용 및 개발 소요 시간을 줄일 수 있는 효과를 불러올 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

The technical development of electric vehicles has been actively proceeding because of the reduction of oil resources and need for eco-friendly vehicle technology. In particular, an electronic control unit is an important element in the technology of electric vehicles due to the motor drive system. This paper concerns an experimental study on the thermal analysis of the steering control ECU structure for an electric vehicle. The ECU unit is designed for eight heat sinks for the thermal analysis of the ECU structure. The thermal analysis characteristics of the ECU structure are evaluated by the temperature distribution, heat flow, von Mises stress, total translation, and external surface temperature measurement of the ECU unit.

AUOTSAR(Automotive Open system Architecture)는 자동차 ECU(Electronic Control Unit) 에 내장되는 소프트웨어에 대한 표준 구조로서, ECU 소프트웨어의 품질 향상은 물론, 개발 및 관리 비용의 절감에 기여하는 등 많은 장점을 갖는다. AUTOSAR 의 이런 장점 때문에 많은 자동차 회사들이 ECU 소프트웨어에 AUTOSAR 적용을 추진하고 있다. 이에 따라 기존 레거시 ECU 소프트웨어 시스템을 AUTOSAR 표준에 맞는 ECU 소프트웨어 시스템으로 변환하는 방법에 대한 관심도 높아지고 있다. 그 이유는 이미 많은 ECU 레거시 소프트웨어 시스템들이 개발되어 사용되고 있으며, 이들에게는 이미 기능 및 안정성 검증을 위하여 많은 시간과 비용이 투자하여 되어 있다. 따라서 ECU 소프트웨어 시스템에 AUTOSAR 를 적용하는 경우 기존의 레거시 소프트웨어 시스템을 재사용할 수 있으면 생산성 및 품질 면에서 많은 장점을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 C 언어로 작성된 기존의 ECU 소프트웨어 시스템을 AUTOSAR 플랫폼에서 재사용할 수 있도록 하기 위하여, 기존의 레거시 ECU 소프트웨어 시스템을 AUTOSAR 플랫폼으로 마이그레이션하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 마이그레이션 과정은 크게 두 단계로 나누어 지는데, 이는 레거시 소프트웨어 시스템을 분석하여 마이그레이션이 가능하도록 기능별로 분해하는 것과, 분해된 구성 요소들을 AUTOSAR 플랫폼에 맞는 구조로 재구성하는 과정이다. 본 논문에서는 이중 첫 번째 과정인 레거시 소프트웨어 시스템의 분석 및 기능별 분해 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

If ECU data, which is responsible for collecting and processing data such as sensors and signals of automobiles, is manipulated by an attack, it can cause damage to the driver. In this paper, we propose a system that verifies the integrity of automotive ECU data using blockchain. Since the car and the server encrypt data using the session key to transmit and receive data, reliability is ensured in the communication process. The server verifies the integrity of the transmitted data using a hash function, and if there is no problem in the data, it is stored in the blockchain and off-chain distributed storage. The ECU data hash value is stored in the blockchain and cannot be tampered with, and the original ECU data is stored in a distributed storage. Using the verification system, users can verify attacks and tampering with ECU data, and malicious users can access ECU data and perform integrity verification when data is tampered with. It can be used according to the user's needs in situations such as insurance, car repair, trading and sales. For future research, it is necessary to establish an efficient system for real-time data integrity verification.
