Yunus Ülker: A CAN Ethernet Gateway for Software Defined Networks in Future Cars

The raise of new technologies for in-vehicle networks, as for
example, Highly Automated Driving, comes with large demands. Traditional in-vehicle networks cannot meet all of them, which motivates the search for alternatives. A promising solution is to use high-speed Ethernet backbone networks to connect various traditional buses such as CAN.
This work provides a gateway solution between CAN buses and
Ethernet networks. The specialty of this gateway is that it acts like an SDN network device instead of having a local decision making logic. After a deep evaluation the resulting gateway prototype is deployed in the experimental setup of the CoRE research group.
