Virtualisation has been proposed for use in the automotive domain as it has the potential to reduce the number of ECUs (Electronic Control Units) that are required in a modern vehicle. In this paper we first introduce a visualisation architecture that makes use of two different types of execution-time servers to provide separation, low run-time overheads but short response-times for event-triggered computation. This model is then extended to mixed-criticality systems and utilises a run-time switch between the task-server mapping to enhance schedulability (at the cost of extended response-times). An industrial case study is used to evaluate the approach.
