V2X technology has the potential to drastically reduce road accidents and improve the traffic flow by fusing in-car sensor data with data obtained from other road users and from the surrounding infrastructure - visibly or unvisbily and far beyond the driver's line of sight. Vehicle to cloud data communication provides a pathway for anonymous data collection and dissemination. When the true potential for V2X is realized and it becomes a true part of the vehicle safety system it is vital that the authenticity and security of data are guaranteed. In addition, the vehicle control units that coordinate active stability systems must be protected against external influences that might subvert the mechanisms design. This presentation will explore the various security countermeasures needed to make V2X a safe and secure technology for the future. Watch Video Presentation

A modern car is more than just transport, it provides comfortable heating and cooling, navigation systems, entertainment systems, and a lot of data about the car's health and performance. Including how well you are conserving fuel or when to seek service. All of this is a challenge to present to the driver and passengers, without distraction to driving, under all conditions from bright daylight to the dark of night, in any temperature. We talk about both Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) component solutions that keep your dashboard simple, readable, and helpful. Watch Video Presentation

This session introduces the standard and low cost development boards for the S32V234 automotive vision processor. The session includes an overview of the features of the processor and the platform with development hands-on exercises for the processor using a Linux platform and vision software development kit.

Many embedded projects are in safety-critical applications, particularly within automotive applications. This session will take a look at the advantages of a functional safety-certified toolchain. Additionally, we will examine how some of the inherent dangers of C/C++ can be neutralized by adopting a coding standard and accompanying coding guidelines with static code analysis. We will draw inspiration from the MISRA rule set and from the requirements and recommendations of the ISO 26262 safety standard, and show numerous examples of what can go wrong.

NXP provides functional and performance relevant models to assist users with software and hardware co-development. Functional SystemC models enable software development early in the program life cycle with a full mapping of SoC MCU components such as CPU cores, peripherals, interrupt controllers, and hardware accelerators. This session will highlight an ADAS vision processor and how the customer can develop software on the virtual model. Hands-on session will teach customers the basics of compiling software, loading the object image file, executing code on the virtual model and measuring relative performance.

NXP’s latest generation of passive UHF RFID, called UCODE® DNA, can be used in Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) systems that make it easier to identify – and collect from – drivers of vehicles that aren’t properly registered. In an AVI system for vehicle registration, readers can be installed above, below, or to the side of the road. They can also be embedded in a handheld device, for use by government personnel. The tag, attached to the vehicle, uses the energy produced by the reader’s RF field, so there’s no need for a battery and the tag has a very long lifespan. Cryptography-based security minimizes errors and practically eliminates fraud. Vehicle owners (and fee collectors) can be confident that the right person is being billed, since readings are both highly accurate and highly secure.

Introducing a new Brushed DC motor driver product family designed for automotive engine control applications. It will be the first motor driver fully certified to ISO26262 to support ASIL level D system qualification and features a patented thermal management scheme to ensure high, efficient operation. The key aspects of thermal power dissipation during heavy load conditions will be reviewed. The session will also include a demonstration with the new brushed dc motor driver and SPI GEN software, showing its integrated protection features. The participants will be able to see how current averaging will maintain higher torque during over-load and all the safety features that can be reported over the SPI.

Vehicles need to accurately grasp the world around them - just like the human driver - in order to drive autonomously. Automotive technology aims to fit vehicles with capabilities even beyond the senses of the human driver, allowing to make the most intelligent decisions in real time. The information that vehicle sensors collect must not only be real time and accurate but also be secure against hacking attacks so that we can trust them with our lives. Reliable ADAS and appropriate security measures are a key ingredient in self-driving cars. Vehicle-to-X technology, extends the visibility beyond the sight of drivers to "see" around corners and through obstacles. External sensor information and internal data from the car networks are vital to help to eliminate the 1.3 million road accidents happening on global roads each year.

There is an increasing number of high/ultra high speed drives required by the industry. The theory offers the rules how to drive fast motors, however not all them are easily applicable in the real word. The significant issue is that the rules requires a pretty powerful device to be enough fast to control fast motors. The presentation offers the comparison of the theory with the experiences out of the customer project targeting the high speed motors controlled by a less powerful devices, where the less powerful controller is a pretty challenge within the overall task.

As more and more individuals acquire automobiles and city populations increase, road way congestion worsens year-by-year. Traffic Congestion results in billions of dollars in lost productivity: individuals are confined to hours upon hours of menial vehicle operation in stop-go conditions. Solution: Advances in NXP's ADAS Radar, Vision, and V2X technologies can alleviate congestion and regain lost productivity - 1) reducing personal stress, 2) improving commuter productivity, and 3) reducing traffic accidents. The session will show how controlling driver response variance, (e.g. making acceleration, deceleration, and minimum safe driving distance constant), relieves congestion jamming conditions. The session concludes with a mapping of ADAS DSRC features to NXP devices. Watch Video Presentation
