Selecting a proper implementation method for software timers in automotive body control applications is one of the crucial steps in the process of software development. We found it particularly true when model-based design (MBD) methodology and automatic code generation techniques are utilized. From our past experience and lessons learned, we have noticed that many software defects are primarily due to inappropriate implementation of software timers.
