Role of RTOS in Autonomous Vehicles

  What is RTOS? The term RTOS refers to a real-time operating system. It's utilized in real-time applications to get real-time output without buffering. The scheduler is a module in the operating system that schedules multiple tasks and determines when a process will run on the processor, which is how multitasking is accomplished. The RTOS scheduler is intended to create a consistent execution pattern. The processing time requirements in an RTOS are calculated in tenths of seconds or smaller time increments. Real-Time Operating Systems make use of real-time restrictions such as power consumption and memory utilization. The scheduler's behavior must be predictable in order to meet real-time requirements. A real-time operating system is one that features a scheduler with a predictable execution pattern.
