Our Goal: The Future EEA

Future Electronics-Electrical Architecture(EEA)

The growing number of sensors and electronic control units (ECU) leads to underperforming vehicles and adds circuit complexity, more powerful centralized architectures like domain control unit (DCU) and multi-domain controller (MDC) come as an alternative to the distributed ones.

Our Goal is to develop the state-of-art Domain Control Unit, which integrate mulitple conventional systems into a more centralized architecture. While using more powerful processors, we are able to use less chips to realize functions. Implying lower cost in total.

Vehicle System Integration

Due to development of the new automotive architecture, we have to re-design how components collaborate with each other :

  1. Wiper Control

  2. Head Light Control

  3. Door sensor

  4. Tail gate control

  5. Motor control

  6. Fast charging communication

  7. Auto-parking communication

  8. CAN Bus communication

  9. Ethernet communication

  10. ... etc

Due to confidentiality, illustrated by similar pictures.
