Kurzfassung

The increasing software complexity in vehicles, particularly with the introduction of autonomous driving features, elevates the risk of software bugs post-delivery. A significant portion of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) functionality issues stem from software errors or are resolved through software updates addressing hardware problems, according to industry reports. Certain sporadic errors, often undetected during development due to rare trigger conditions or insufficient testing, necessitate secure and reliable infield diagnostics. Load collective (BLK) data, collected from ECUs through diagnostic services, offers valuable insights for both software development and infield diagnostics. This data facilitates the identification of areas for software improvement and enables the implementation of proactive diagnostic strategies for vehicles in customer operation, leading to enhanced performance and reliability. This thesis identifies important network parameters and investigates the load collectives and its significance in implementing it over diagnostic data in the software development perspective, with a particular focus on middleware networking software within the Central Driving and Charging Control (CDCC) unit. Implementing a BLK would provide continuous monitoring of identified parameters throughout the car's life, which provides a comprehensive view of how the detected network errors affect both software and hardware performance unlike monitoring it as a diagnostic element. Also, investigating a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of both the load collective and traditional diagnostic points will be crucial for achieving optimal monitoring and diagnostic capabilities. In essence, the current research serves as a foundation towards a more comprehensive understanding and utilization of BLK. In addition, this research concludes that the BLK data particularly helps to understand the relationship between real-world vehicle software, and its impact on control strategies, product design, infrastructure utilization, fleet and geographical comparisons, and the creation of enhanced test scenarios for development vehicles. Ultimately leading to support ongoing innovation, as insights from real-world usage can drive improvements in both current and future vehicle software. Keywords: BLK, Middleware Networking Software, CDCC, Diagnostics.
