Simulation tools for evaluating next generation networks

Time Critical Networks (TCN) main focus is on developing model-based simulation software tools for evalulating next generation, Ethernet based architectures and networks.

TCN creates software that enables networks to adopt to applications'​ needs and requirements, not the other way around. After years of exciting advanced technology research, TCN 2017 released the TCN TimeAnalysisTM software - model based performance simulation of the network. With this software the user can build robust data networks with latency and packet-delivery in mind.

The users are today mainly within the automotive industry, using the software for creating the upcoming autonomous driving communication systems in-vehicle as well as outside the vehicle (V2V/V2X).

- Maximize performance at minimum cost - Quickly examine trade-offs in a large design space
- Gain insights - Understand how the traffic behaves under different network configurations and usage scenarios, e.g. in an Ethernet backbone with AVB or TSN functionality
- Ensure Ethernet can be used - Identify best, worst- and average case latency for individual data flows forwarded and ensure no loss of packets.

The company was formed 2008 founded by researchers from the Real-Time and High-Performance Computer Architecture group headed by professor Per Stenström at Chalmers University of Technology. TCN is developing a simulation engine with the objective of allowing holistic prediction of system resource utilization as well as signaling determinism and performance in a setting where the end-to-end signaling encompasses both intra- and inter vehicle networks.
