FlexRay is a high-speed communication protocol designed for automotive applications. It enables reliable data exchange between various electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicles, ensuring that critical information is transmitted quickly and accurately. With a data rate of up to 10 Mbps, FlexRay supports advanced features like real-time processing and fault tolerance, making it suitable for modern vehicles with complex systems. Developed by the FlexRay Consortium, this protocol allows for a time-triggered communication method, which means that data is sent at predetermined times. This helps in synchronizing the operation of different ECUs, enhancing overall vehicle performance and safety.
