Electronic component developers in the automotive industry are finding that the products they develop are increasing in the level of complexity. In order to reduce costs and increase reuse and maintainability developers are using a number of software methods and tools to aid in the development process. A number of tools exist on the market that address some of the requirements of the system developers. However, no one tool offers behavioural analysis, high-level design, control algorithm design, simulation, timing analysis, code generation and support for safety critical certification. This paper describes the solution in terms of process and tool selection for the management of software design, the value to the business and the opportunity for the world automotive market. The RAPIER project brings together a number of field-leading tool and technology suppliers tp produce an integrated environment that encompasses the real-time system development life cycle. The process and tools will be assessed and demonstrated by the development of a ride height controller by DaimlerChrysler and Lucas Varity.
