Subject: Multimedia systems in automotive industry (17.CEM823)

General information:
 
Category Professional-applicative
Scientific or art field Computer Engineering and Computer Communication
ECTS 6

The goal of the course is to introduce students to modern hardware and software architectures which are used to implement multimedia, infotainment and other digital automotive functions within digital cockpit systems in modern vehicles. These systems are specific with regard to their hardware and software, their safety-critical functions, virtualization, simultaneous execution and synchronization between real-time operating system and a general purpose operating system and, finally, human-machine interface aspects and applications intended for a specific displays. Students will be enabled to recognize all current challenges, as well as tools and methods to implement software for digital cockpit controllers and multimedia systems in the automotive industry.

After the course students shall be able to: (1) understand hardware and software architecture of multimedia systems in vehicles, with the focus on digital cockpit controllers; (2) design basic software and applications for digital cockpit within heterogeneous environments, which are dedicated to configurations with multiple operating systems virtualized over Hypervisor; (3) design applications which use safety-critical mechanisms to share data within a virtualized environment; (4) understand specificity of human-machine interaction within a digital cockpit; (5) understand wider field, challenges, tools and methods which are encountered in the area of multimedia systems in automotive industry.
