var fDesc=new Array(); fDesc[0] = "RTaW-Sim enables the designer of an application based on Controller Area Network (CAN) to quickly set the best communication parameters and assess the performances and reliability of the system. RTaW-Sim is a fine-grained discrete-event bus simulator providing the frame response time distributions and statistics about the frame buffer usage at the ECU and communication controller level. RTaW-Sim helps the designer to choose the right communication stacks (e.g., waiting queue policy) and communication controllers (e.g., number of buffers) and configure them. RTaW-Sim is fast – for instance, the total lifetime time of a vehicle is simulated in just a couple of hours.

RTaW-Sim can be used to re-play certain specific scenarios and perform fault-injection (i.e. frame transmission errors, ECU reboots, ECU clocks drifting apart) according to user-defined error models and error recovery time model (e.g., time after which the bus is available again after a transmission error). The error models can be specified as closed-form distributions or under the form of frequency histograms, possibly coming directly from measurements taken on a prototype."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
