What makes the Time-Triggered Architecture an advanced electronics architecture?
A Time-Triggered Architecture (TTA) system has fault tolerance implemented in both hardware and software. Whereas the hardware relies on redundant nodes and duplicated communication channels, the software uses algorithms to control basic services. Short innovation cycles allow a rapid evolution of subsystems without taking the risk of hidden faults. In a TTA system it is guaranteed that changed groups of components can be easily integrated in an existing overall system. A supplier can be sure that the timing in his subsystem is not changed by the integration in the overall system and the testing must be done solely on his own subsystem. A drastic time and cost reduction for testing and system integration is guaranteed.
