Abstract
Provided is a method for monitoring a time schedule of a first thread running on a control unit of an automated vehicle. The method includes a step of providing, to a second thread, a first timestamp corresponding to a starting time of the first thread, and a step of providing, to the second thread, a second timestamp corresponding to an end time of the first thread. The method further includes a step of computing, by use of the second thread, a difference between the first timestamp and the second timestamp, and a step of comparing, by use of the second thread, the computed difference to a predefined threshold for monitoring the time schedule of the first thread.
