Automotive, Transportation & Railway

Looking at the new connectivity and feature requirements for modern automobiles, the average number of electronic platforms used in today's models is increasing dramatically. Integration complexity has become a major task and major point of failure. Reducing this complexity through advanced software technology will lead the new developments in the R&D labs of automotive, transportation and railway manufacturers and their major tier-one suppliers.

SYSGO solutions

SYSGO has been present in the automotive industry for several years thanks to its services expertise, and ELinOS and PikeOS products. One of the very first personality developed for PikeOS was OSEK.  Today PikeOS, by partnering with OpenSynergy , offers a safe and secure virtualization platform to develop AUTOSAR applications. The virtualization technology gives the possibility to reduce the number of ECUs within an automotive, and still guarantee safety, security and access to legacy code. An Industrial Grade Linux solution as ELinOS is a perfect answer to some of the new requirements coming from the infotainment systems implementation. Support of dedicated hardware platforms, required I/O, Fieldbus and graphical functionality, and possibility to certify to ISO 26262 when needed are the other benefits brought by choosing SYSGO solutions.

Safe and secure virtualization as well as industrial grade Linux are also very useful for the transportation sector. Mixing safely SIL 4 and SIL 2 applications as proposed by EN 50128 certifiable PikeOS is definitely a benefit for the railway industry.

Bucyrus

Combining legacy code and Linux based functionality - Bucyrus (formerly Terex O&K)

Reuse of legacy code is becoming more and more of a crucial issue, and not only for cost sensitive devices. In the field of safety-critical applications, reuse of well tested and even certified software makes good economic sense if it can be enhanced by new functionality.

Dambach Werke

Traffic Management with PikeOS - Dambach Werke (formerly Signalbau Huber)

Software integration helps to economize the use of resources and grants access to joint functionalities and data for more than one application. Unfortunately, also disadvantages come along: a high system complexity and a lack of safety and security. Virtualization maximizes the benefits of integration by minimizing the disadvantages. Software integration on top of a virtualization platform offers even more opportunities – it provides the flexibility to respond to developing needs.

Gantner

Combination of hard real-time and Linux - Gantner

Linux provides a broad range of industrial interfaces and is widely used in industrial applications. But when it comes to hard real-time performance, the off-the-shelf capabilities of Linux are not sufficient. Safe and secure virtualization PikeOS solves this issue by allowing the combination of Linux ELinOS side by side with real-time operating systems on one platform. Furthermore, legacy code can be reused in its own partition – saving time and money.
