MOST Forum 2012: MOST Cooperation Releases MOST150 Onto the Road
At the fourth MOST Forum on March 20 2012 in Stuttgart/Esslingen, the MOST Cooperation will again participate as knowledge partner and exhibitor to showcase the latest technology highlights. The theme of this year's exhibit is 'MOST150 Rolls Off the Line', describing the third generation of MOST Technology hitting the road in 2012, stated Dr. Christian Thiel, Administrator of the MOST Cooperation. MOST150 meets the requirements not only for the traditional areas of entertainment and information, but also for the new domains of mobile connectivity, connected services, and driver assistance. We are proud to announce that automotive Ethernet will go into series via MOST150. In addition to transporting high Quality of Service (QoS) audio and video, this latest technology also provides an automotive-ready physical layer for Ethernet protocols within the car. MOST is thus equivalent to an IEEE802.x network.
MOSTBesides exhibiting, MOSTCO's Technical Coordinator Dr. Wolfgang Bott will speak on MOST in Driver Assistance. In his presentation at 14:30 on March 20, 2012, Dr. Bott will give evidence supporting the need for seamless integration of infotainment and driver assistance. Both hard real-time and high bandwidth requirements must be met. A multi-channel network approach with inherent synchronicity will be the first choice. If then additional advantages such as maturity, cost efficiency and flexible topology come along with an appropriate safety integrity level, MOST is proven to fit best from a system solution perspective.
