ABSTRACT
The Development platform for Safe and Efficient dRiVe (DESERVE) project started in September 2012 and finished on February 2015 after 3,5 years heavy working and was coordinated by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. The project created the methodology framework for integrating embedded hardware and software modules was created which enables better interoperability of automotive industry products and third party aftersales components. The developed applications are tested and validated in different demonstration vehicles for showing that DESERVE methodology is not limited to one single vehicle type. The project developed the framework methodology to integrate new software components to car environment. In practise, the methodology verified with implementing two alternative solutions which were adapted to fit to the project framework design. The original project target was to develop a common software platform for modern vehicles.
