Gateway Communication
In particular the communication with the outside world requires deterministic and accurate response times that can only be achieved by means of an underlying real-time operating system.
The electronic systems inside a modern car are able to take control over critical systems, such as the steering and braking gear. This significantly improves the Safety during the car's operation, but at the same exposes the risk of unauthorised access. As a consequence, the vehicle's Safety must be accompanied by Security measures. Therefore, the connectivity platform contains a gateway utilising a robust routing system implementing a firewall and an intrusion detection system.
Virtualization
The list of desired features is growing year by year. This usually requires the combination of existing software components with completely new and partially incompatible application programming interfaces. Maintaining a stable software basis while being able to follow the desires of the end user is a challenge. This is where virtualization comes into play. The connectivity platform is extendable easily by adding an arbitrary number of guest operating systems without compromising Safety or Security.
Performance
The PikeOS operation system has been chosen as the backbone of the Secure Automotive Platform, as it naturally fulfils the substantial requirements of determinism and real-time, Security, Safety and virtualization. As a Type 1 hypervisor, it directly runs on the embedded hardware and makes the overall system as performant as possible. Another performance boost comes through the multi-core support, which has proven its maturity in recent Railway projects.

In the example of a gateway, the supported default configuration communicates to the outside world by means of a 4G/5G network. A firewall protects the vehicle internal WI-FI hotspot, which is available to the passenger's convenience.
The internal communication lines, such as CAN and Ethernet are available to the hotspot by means of dedicated and surveillance channels only. The gateway supports Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN).
