The timing issues are very important for the high speed distributed control system like as x-by-wire system to ensure their consistency of the operation with linked ECUs. The operations of the all ECUs in the system have to be synchronized within same time zone. The joint development of the "FlexRay" standard by BMW, Daimler, Motorola and Philips started in 2000 to fulfill the requirements for future in-vehicle control applications including the combination of higher data rates, deterministic behaviour and the support of fault tolerance. This paper shows how the FlexRay can be used for the high speed distributed control system by applying and verifying the schedule of the FlexRay communication and time triggered task to the independent steer-by-wire system.
