White Paper

Optimising Advanced Automotive Electronic Systems

Modern vehicles are becoming increasingly complex. A wide array of electronic systems now controls infotainment, automatic braking, air conditioning, and much more. The financial implications are significant: the automotive electronics market is expected to peak at $293 billion in 2024, with sustained growth projected through 2034.


But how are communications between electronic control units (ECUs) facilitated? What powers these complex systems? The SOME/IP protocol acts as middleware, facilitating service-oriented communications in distributed systems, and is a vital component of the automotive open system architecture.


In this white paper, you’ll explore:

  • The advantages of SOME/IP in creating complex automotive systems
  • How SOME/IP can be used to increase system interoperability using vsomeip
  • Open-source solutions that have unlocked innovation and continuous improvement in automotive
  • How Critical Software can support engineers with Agile system delivery and testing incorporating SOME/IP
