Software dictates vehicle behavior. Secure real-time performance early in your development cycle by integrating architecture design and timing validation.

The Challenge: Master Real-Time Performance

Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) redefine automotive engineering. Software distributes across domains and networks to dictate vehicle behavior. This shift demands predictable communication. The architectural decisions you make today directly impact tomorrow's real-time performance and system robustness.

Stop treating E/E architecture design and timing analysis as isolated silos. Align multiple communication technologies and heterogeneous networks early. Avoid costly redesigns. Build future-proof systems from the start.

The Solution: Connect Vision with Validation

Vector provides the foundation. PREEvision acts as your model-based systems engineering platform. You define, structure, and evolve architectures across all abstraction levels. You capture network topologies, communication relationships, and functional dependencies.

But structure alone leaves questions unanswered. How do you guarantee real-time performance?

Enter the integration of PREEvision and RTaW-Pegase. Pegase evaluates timing predictability in communication networks. Together, these tools connect your architectural vision with concrete timing validation.

  • Export high-quality communication and topology data from PREEvision.
  • Gain transparent, traceable timing analysis results in RTaW-Pegase.
  • Understand exactly how architectural decisions shape end-to-end communication.

Move from high-level architecture to the detailed configuration of switches, gateways, and network nodes with absolute confidence.

The Proof: The Vector SDV Demo Case

Experience this integration in action. We use the vCANdrive car model – the Vector SDV demonstrator showcased at global industry events like CES and IAA Mobility. Import the realistic, automotive-centric architecture into Pegase.

The network topology mirrors the PREEvision environment perfectly. You easily track cause-and-effect relationships across both tools. Analyze a specific data flow end-to-end: from an accelerometer sensor signal to the brake actuator command.

Pegase visualizes this path across software functions and network elements. It highlights the complete timing chain.

Make informed decisions early: 

  • Translate architectural choices into concrete communication paths.
  • Expose timing-critical dependencies before integration.
  • Verify that your architectural assumptions withstand strict real-time constraints.
Predictable communication is the invisible force that turns a software-defined vehicle from a concept into a reliable reality.

The Future: Closed-Loop Engineering

We believe that true innovation requires continuous refinement. Today, information flows seamlessly from PREEvision to Pegase. Tomorrow, we envision a closed-loop process where timing analysis directly informs architectural updates.

Imagine feeding analysis results back to adjust switch configurations, remap software functions, and refine topologies for ultimate timing robustness. This is the momentum driving the future of systems engineering.
