Volkswagen Selects RTI’s Real-Time Messaging Middleware for Driver Assistance Applications

San Jose, CA, April 08, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Real-Time Innovations (RTI), The Real-Time Middleware Experts, today announced that Volkswagen AG, Electronics and Vehicle Research department, is using RTI’s real-time messaging middleware across different projects to integrate advanced driver assistance systems into the car. These control systems need very high bandwidth to handle fast streaming data, coupled with low-latency command throughput for driver assistance. RTI Data Distribution Service will be used by Volkswagen to investigate a new network topology which facilitates integration of the high-speed network requirements of this innovative driver assistance system with existing low-bandwidth in-car networks.

Volkswagen’s advanced driver assistance systems must integrate, in real-time, complex environment perception algorithms which require the use of a high-bandwidth network. By contrast, existing in-car networks are focused on low-bandwidth, low-latency command oriented sub-systems, for example for communication between braking systems and the powertrain.
