• A large majority of existing software development approaches in the vehicle industrial domain have a limited or no modeling support to fully reuse legacy nodes at the highest abstraction, called the vehicle level. In this paper, we introduce a new technique for model-and component-based development of vehicular distributed embedded systems at the vehicle level. The proposed technique supports not only modeling of crude nodes or Electronic Control Units but also modeling of legacy nodes whose software architectures can be partially or completely reused. As a proof of concept, we implement the modeling technique in an industrial model, the Rubus Component Model. In order to show the usability of our approach, we model a vehicular application using the extended component model and its tool suite.
