What ASG is, in four moves.

ASG is a real-time in-vehicle control architecture: one protocol, one ring, one synchronous state window shared by every zone module.

Phase 1 — content in progress

This page’s structure and route are final; its written content, diagrams and data are being built out in the content phase of the rebuild.

  • The ASG protocol The ASG protocol carries all in-vehicle control traffic on a single shared channel, dividing it by frequency (a modified OFDM scheme) rather than by time slot or message arbitration.
  • Hardware & IP module Every ASG zone module is the same unit: a real-time controller plus the ASG communication IP, wired to the ring for both power and data.
  • Real-time OS & the 1 ms window The ASG real-time OS commits one shared information window across the whole vehicle every millisecond, so every zone module acts on the same state at the same instant.
  • Zonal ring architecture ASG routes power and data around a single ring, with components attaching to the nearest zone module inside a fixed wire-length budget.

ASG · Real-Time E/E Architecture for the Software-Defined Vehicle

Automotive Smart Grid builds the real-time architecture that carries in-vehicle communication and control on a single ring — not an energy grid.
