CAN communication breakdown and CAN message structure
Inside a CAN message:
• Identifier (ID)
• Data length (DLC)
• Data
CAN message data:
• Is split in signals of different lengths, each one representing a different information (i.e.
motor status, vehicle state, current speed).
• All ECUs in the car know the predefined breakdown
structure of the CAN
messages into signals, so that they can interpret or compose new messages.

Body Control Modules (BCMs) are central elements of vehicle electronics.
They combine several functions in one housing and control practically all the vehicle's electronic basis, comfort and security functions like:
Gateway modules External lighting Interior lighting Windshield wipers
Windshield washer system Central locking system Climate control system Seat adjustment RF reception Immobilizer
Remote Keyless Entry
Passive Start and Entry Systems Tire Pressure Monitoring System Energy Management
Thanks to their scalable architecture and AUTOSAR-compatible software modules, they can be freely adapted and harmonize with a every specific type of vehicle.

Motivation for Adaptive AUTOSAR
New features/requirements introduced in Automotive industry nowadays:
• Highly automated driving – environmental perception and behavior planning;
• High connectivity;
• Strict integrity and security requirements;
• External backend systems for vehicles;
• OTA SW updates over vehicles life-cycle.
The new cars become smart vehicles.
Classic AUTOSAR limitations:
• Designed for deeply embedded ECUs with specific static and real-time functionalities;
• Not enough for fulfilling the new Automotive industry development trend.

Adaptive AUTOSAR - Service-oriented architecture as key to digitalization
Enables carmakers to reduce complexity & improve updateability, reusability and portability of software by:
• Dividing applications in single, self-contained software components;
• Minimizing functional dependencies between software components;
This is achieved by:
• service-oriented communication;
• dynamic binding using service discovery and publish/subscribe;
• Uniform interfaces, stateless, separation of concerns;
• Forward- and backward- compatibility of interfaces
