Vehicle IT without latency problems

Modern vehicles are rapidly developing into rolling computers – more and more features are based on software. The more complex such "software-defined vehicles" (SDV) become, the more difficult it is to keep the timing under control and avoid excessive latencies ("dead times"). The toolchain developed by EDAG and INCHRON allows the calculation of...
