ResilientSOA: Service-oriented architectures for automated guided vehicles

Fraunhofer IKS developed a framework called ResilientSOA to provide a more flexible way of updating software. It applies the concept of SOA – that is, service-oriented architecture – to safety-critical embedded systems. This video explains how this works using automated guided vehicles, which transport goods in a warehouse and have to observe safety rules, even in a changing environment.

When safety-relevant functions are moved into the cloud, the connection to the cloud becomes critical. How can a cloud-based system handle connection losses gracefully? In this context, gracefully describes that the system will remain as efficient as possible without violating any of its safety goals. Together with industry partners, Fraunhofer IKS examined the impact of connection losses on a cloud-based system by the example of automated valet parking (AVP).

Within the EU-funded project SafeAdapt (Safe Adaptive Software for Fully Electric Vehicles), a consortium of 9 partners from six European countries is making innovative changes to the E/E architecture. These concepts will reduce the complexity of the system by generic, system-wide fault and adaptation handling.
