Abstract
The goal of the public funded project eFuture is to develop a safe and efficient battery electric vehicle to widen the BEV’s bottleneck that is the still expensive battery, limited in capacity and lifetime. A novel E/E architecture designed to merge different the function domains HMI, ADAS, Driving Dynamics, and Energy uses a central decision unit approach based on a central control unit. An ECU developed as the core of the new architecture—yet providing carry-over functionality—is a scalable multi-controller unit with four independent 32-bit microcontroller systems. The viability of this ECU concept is successfully demonstrated on the basis of a Tata Indica Vista EV.
