Fields of Application

Continental AG

FRC-EP 190 enables data exchange between car and test system


During Continental’s Conticabana Driving Event, approx. 2,300 international 
guests experienced performance of different tires and tire pressure.

Use-case

The performance of different tires should be measured, recorded and online visualized. For this, the data generated on the test track was wireless transmitted from the passengers inside the car. At the end of the test drive, the complete recording was transferred to a server, where it was used for a detailed analysis and comparison. 

Ixxat solution

Use Case Bosch

Bosch

Readout of vehicle data after a crash


Bosch is one of the largest automotive suppliers providing a solution to readout the vehicle data after a crash (CDR = Crash Data Retrieval). During driving, important vehicle parameters are stored in the airbag ECU. After a crash, this data can be read and used to pinpoint the reason for the crash. In case that the vehicle is hardly destroyed, the airbag ECU needs to be removed and brought to communication without the rest of the vehicle. 

Use-Case

  • FlexRay-to-CAN RBS/gateway enabling data retrieval after a vehicle crash

Ixxat Solution

FRC-EP170 as OEM version with modified interface compilation and pin assignment and the following functionality:

  • Gateway
  • FlexRay/CAN/Ethernet-Gateway
