Application layer

Within AUTOSAR, the application layer represents the highest level of the software architecture and is tasked with executing the system’s high-level functions.

This layer consists of SWCs designed to carry out specific tasks or operations needed by the automotive system. These components can encompass control algorithms, signal processing, monitoring and diagnostic functions, user interfaces, and other application-specific logic. The SWCs communicate with each other and the lower layers via well-defined interfaces, promoting modularity, reusability, and maintainability. The AUTOSAR software architecture defines the application layer, and its components are engineered to be independent of the underlying hardware and BSW layer. This independence allows for increased flexibility and reusability of the SWCs across various automotive systems. It can be visualized as shown in the following figure:
