Vehicle control HPC

High-performance computers

The vehicle control high-performance computer (VC-HPC) is the central platform for the integration of safety and non-safety critical applications in the body, chassis and motion, energy management, and powertrain area.

Benefits and features

  • Flexible and scalable integration platform for cross-domain applications and services from various parties
  • Host for body, safety and motion, energy management, and powertrain applications up to safety level ASIL-D
  • Host for central data acquisition and cloud/IoT services
  • Heterogeneous, secure and safe multi operating system environment
  • Support for the rapidly increasing demand for secure communication bandwidth based on latest network technologies
  • Central instance for all over-the-air software updates and upgrades of the vehicle and offers an extended range of vehicle diagnostic features
