Schedule a meeting by contacting Jörgen Olsson: jorgen.olsson@ 13 July 2011CPAC Systems, together with Time Critical Networks, finish today a joint Thesis Project, aiming to check the feasability of replacing CAN with standard Ethernet. The purpose of the thesis project was to investigate the possibility of replacing the CAN bus with Ethernet according to the following requirements:
CPAC Systems, a company in the Volvo group which develops and manufactures steer-by-wire systems based on the CAN technology, wishes to verify whether Ethernet could now be considered as a solution to complement or replace CAN, thus overcoming limitations of CAN. This verification was the goal of this master thesis project. Please do contact us for further information about the master thesis project, such as the report. 10 May 2011Time Critical Networks, sign an agreement with a pan-European automotive consortia of in total 17 companies and organisations. The TIMMO-2-USE project objective is on time-critical in-vehicle communication systems, such as brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire, etc. The TIMMO-2-USE project aims at increasing the efficiency and accuracy in handling timing-related issues in the complex development of automotive real-time embedded systems. The objective is to master different types of timing constraints and dynamic behavior throughout the different steps of the EAST-ADL/AUTOSAR-based development process and tool chain. TIMMO-2-USE is an ITEA2 project (ITEA 2 project 09033) with 17 partners from France, Germany, Sweden, and United Kingdom. The project started in October 2010 and has a duration of 2 years. More information is found at: www.timmo-2-use.org 18 January 2011Time Critical Networks has been selected as a presenter and a publisher of SAE 2011 World Congress & Exhibition Technical Papers. The presentation is scheduled to be held April 14, 2011, in Cobo Center, Detroit, Michigan, USA, under session AE305, "In-Vehicle Networks".

"If it's about connectivity, then Time Critical Networks is one of the most interesting initiatives in the region. Think of how Ethernet technology jumped over its traditional boundaries, it is immediate to realize the value of the job Time Critical Network is doing." said Marco Monzani, R&D Director of CPAC Systems. Marco brings with him about 20 years of experience of product development within automotive, marine and medical segments. "We are delighted to have Marco join our Board. He is a tremendous addition to our company given his insights and experience," said Lars Bröhne, CEO of Time Critical Networks. "Our leadership team look forward to working with Marco as we shape our technology and execute our strategies for enabling customers to use standard Ethernet in time critical applications." Marco is the second independent member on the six-strong board after Time Critical Networks appointed Patric Nordström, CEO of Idevio (www.idevio.com), to its board earlier this year. 1 September 2010Lars Bröhne has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Time Critical Networks, with effect from 1 September 2010. Based at headquarters in Gothenburg, he replaces Babak Esfahani, who has been appointed CEO of Plejd AB.
