Abstract
Abstract We investigate the emulation controller design approach for nonlinear networked control systems (NCS) with FlexRay. FlexRay is a deterministic communication protocol which is increasingly used in the automotive industry as it provides a high bandwidth and allows for safety critical applications. It is characterized by pre-set communication cycles that are subdivided into static and dynamic segments; the data transmissions are scheduled by different rules depending on the segment. We propose for the first time a hybrid model of NCS with FlexRay for this purpose. We show, under reasonable assumptions, that the asymptotic stability property ensured by the controller in the absence of c..
