DDS: The Data Backbone of SDV Interoperability

Unlock the Promise of the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV)

Complex system integration is slowing the industry transition to SDVs. Moving massive amounts of real-time data between unique systems has emerged as a critical speedbump to development.

This whitepaper presents an interoperable framework for SDV development: a data-centric architecture using the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard with the common COVESA VSS data model.

Download the paper to see how this approach enables:

• Plug-and-Play Interoperability: Achieve seamless integration by using the data itself as the interface, allowing components to be freely swapped and upgraded across vehicles.
• Reduced Development Cost and Time: Minimize custom engineering and system integration efforts by enabling component reuse across different makes and models.
• A Secure Global Data Space: Create a single point of truth within the vehicle, where all data is available to every ECU and processing node, complete with granular security for every data flow.
• Extreme Real-Time Performance: Leverage DDS's advanced Quality-of-Service (QoS) capabilities for close to wire-speed performance, essential for ADAS and high-level autonomy.

Discover how a standards-based, data-centric foundation accelerates development and can future-proof your next-generation automotive platform.
