Abstract
AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture (AUTOSAR) is the new standard software architecture for automobiles. The increased usage of Electronic Control Units (ECU) in automobiles is contributing to higher software complexity in vehicles. Here is the significance of AUTOSAR. The AUTOSAR is a new framework used to reduce the ECU complexity in new generation automobiles. Its core frame work consists of four layers; the top layer is the Application layer and the bottom layer is the Microcontroller layer. Run Time Environment and Basic Software Layer are the two layers sandwiched between these two layers. The Basic Software Layer provides an infrastructural functionality to an ECU. The scope of this paper is limited to a module within the Basic Software Layer named Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Router module. PDU Router module must be instantiated in every ECU. The main task of this module is the routing of Interaction Layer Protocol Data Units (I-PDUs) between the communication services and the hardware abstraction layer modules. It also provides the gateway functionality which means the routing of I-PDUs between the same or different networks. This paper focuses the design, development and testing of AUTOSAR 3.2 based PDU Router module
