Time-triggered Controller Area Network (ttcan) Communication Scheduling: A Systematic Approach

Time-Triggered Controller Area Network (TTCAN) is a hybrid communication
paradigm with combining both time-triggered and event-triggered traffic
scheduling. Different from the standard Controller Area Network (CAN),
communication in TTCAN is performed according to a pre-computed, fixed
(during system run) schedule that is called as TTCAN System Matrix. Thus,
communication performance of TTCAN network is directly related to structure of
the system matrix, which makes the design of system matrix a crucial process.
The study in this thesis consists of the extended work on the development of a
systematic approach for system matrix construction. Methods for periodic
message scheduling and an approach for aperiodic message scheduling are
proposed with the aim of constructing a feasible system matrix, combining three
important aspects: message properties, protocol constraints and system
performance requirements in terms of designated performance metrics. Also,
system matrix design, analyses and performance evaluation are performed on
example message sets with the help of two developed software tools.
