Recently, many ECUs(Electronic Control Units) have been used to enhance the vehicle safety, which leads to a distributed real-time control system. The distributed real-time control system requires to reduce the network delay for dependable real-time performance. There are two different paradigms by which a network protocol operates: event-triggered and time-triggered. This paper focuses on implementation of a time-triggered protocol. i.e. TTP/C(Time-Triggered Protocol/class C). This paper presents a design method of TTP control network and performance evaluation of distributed real-time control system using TTP protocol.

As a way to build more efficient and intelligent container cranes for todays hub ports, communication networks are used to interconnect numerous sensors, actuators, controllers, and operator switches and consoles that are spatially distributed over a crane. Various signals such as sensor values and operator's commands are digitized and broadcast on the network instead of using separate wiring cables. This not only makes the design and manufacturing of a crane more efficient, but also easier implementation of intelligent control algorithms. This paper presents the performance evaluation of CAN(Controller Area Network), TTP(Time Triggered Protocol) and Byteflight that can be used for cranes. Through discrete event simulation, several important quantitative performance factors such as the probability of a transmission failure, average system delay (data latency) and maximum system delay have been evaluated.

Jitter occurring during data communication creates difficulties in integrating a system. Such problems arise from using an event triggered communication protocol such as CAN(Controller Area Network) because it cannot be determined when a specific message will be transmitted. In order to avoid this problem, several time triggered communication protocols have been developed orare under development. Those protocols include TTP(TTTech) and TTCAN(BOSCH). But a time triggered communication protocol needs more hardware than an event triggered protocol and has more complicated software algorithm because data and time information goes through the existing data line ...
