Automotive-Demonstrator "BlackPearl"

The BlackPearl-demonstrator is added to Car2X-Indoor-Lab of profressorship computer engineering. The BlackPearl mechanical structure is based on Henes-products F820 series which provide a high sophisticated and reliable mechanical and electrical platform. In our Car2X-Indor-Lab we implement and evaluate functions for Car2Xcommunication and automated driving based on cloud computing approaches.

BlackPearl privides:

  • ECU-Box:
    • All electronic control units (ECU) are assembled in a central box and each ECU can be exchanged on modular basis.
    • A control panel for vidaulization of contril and status has been added. 
  • Image Processing
    • New MultiCore-Prozessor-Modules based on ParpberryPi technology were added for high performance image processing. All modules are integrated by CAN-Bus in the ECU network.
  • Softwarerchitectur
    • AUTOSAR 4.0 
  • Functionalities
    • Automated driving 
    • Light control
    • Traffic sign detection and recognition
    • Car2x: Data exchange with TraffiClould
