Automotive manufacturers face interesting challenges as electronic devices are becoming essential in modern vehicles. Therefore new approaches and strategies are to be adopted in order to tackle the coming challenges. One of the most rapidly growing domains is infotainment and telematics, where applications require a large amount of data to be transmitted on-board and also exchanged with the external world. The in-vehicle communication networks for infotainment systems must consequently be devised considering the need for transporting the considerable amount of data of multimedia applications as well as features particular to this area. This thesis is intended to analyze possible implementations of multimedia networks for heavy transport vehicles, in relation to various aspects and features in this area. The thesis presents an analysis of different protocols and technologies used in automotive multimedia networks. Furthermore, characteristic requirements for automotive electronics systems and especially for automotive multimedia networks are investigated in detail. Based on these requirements different multimedia networks are proposed and studied, making a comparison between them with regard to a number of criteria. A broad approach during the investigation of the multimedia protocols is chosen in order to enlarge the area of used technology and to bring new technologies and possibilities for the truck industry. The observations and the experiences from the car industry are used in the truck domain, where the specifics of the truck industry are taken into account. The comparison gives an insight into the particulars of the proposed solutions from several viewpoints so that a suitable multimedia network can be selected based on different criteria.
