Vehicle control system for dynamically updating system components

In the present invention, when an abnormality occurs in a task, regardless of whether a critical section is being executed, timeout detection is realized by determining whether the critical section (CS) is necessary for the design in a preset task execution time and a certain period of time to distinguish between necessary interrupt disable and abnormal interrupt disable. A vehicle control device includes task execution means for causing a system to execute a task, and interrupt processing means for performing an interrupt process at the time of execution of the task. A maskable interrupt and a non-maskable interrupt that is commanded to execute after the maskable interrupt are included, the maskable interrupt is commanded to execute during an interrupt disable time, and then the non-maskable interrupt is executed.

This invention detects deviations from design without hindering the real-time nature of interrupt processing, and assists in analyzing the impact of faults caused by unintentional interrupt processing, with the goal of curbing erroneous detection. In order to resolve this problem, this vehicle control device comprises; a deviation determination unitwhich determines if execution timing of an execution body has deviated from design settings, and transitions to a monitoring state; and a run-time verification unitwhich verifies the impact of deviation at timing which differs from that of the interrupt processing.
