POLLUXE X E C U T I V E summary

Pollux will reduce the development time and cost of the complex, high-

reliability mechatronic systems needed for the mass deployment of electric

vehicles through the creation of a common reference architecture for

distributed embedded systems, including real-time middleware and multi-

core hardware.

R E L E VA N C E C A L L 2008 objectives

Pollux addresses the industrial priority area of reference designs and

architectures in order to offer common architectural approaches

(standardised and interoperable) for Electric Vehicles according to

AUTOSAR® guidelines, reducing computational effort, and targeting high

levels of reusability, reliability and dependability of systems, thus reducing

development time and costs.

M A R K E T innovation

Electrified mobility, like renewable energy, is showing some 40% annual

growth worldwide, driven by the need to reduce primary energy consumption

and greenhouse gas emissions while improve road transport safety and

the constraints of raw material scarcity. The Pollux project, addressing the

development of a standard reference technology platform for electric vehicle

design, will boost the competitiveness of industries in the EU and member states,

particularly in the semiconductor, embedded systems and automotive sectors.

At the same time Pollux will address the most relevant automotive industry

bottlenecks related to the cost and the reliability of electronic architectures.

T E C H N I C A L innovation

The new electric vehicle architectures based on distributed embedded computing

and electronics system will allow significant energy saving, with enhanced fun-to-

drive, safety and comfort, thus decreasing the overall complexity of the vehicle:

> Embedding fail-safe concepts and devices while removing unnecessary

redundancy

> Development of automotive compliant parallel-computing/real-time and

secure platforms and operating systems

> Support for the development of multi-core microcontroller chips

> Smart domain partitioning into autonomous sub-systems and multi-layer

domain abstraction

> Standardisation of architectures, hardware components and software in

compliance with AUTOSAR ® guidelines.

The low level control system of the next generation Electric Vehicles will

form the “basal brain” and the “nervous system” of the car allowing the

implementation of future “cortex” high level functionalities
