AFDX is an emerging avionics bus for next generation aircraft. It is based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet technology and utilizes commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. The delay performance is one of the main aspects of aviation network design, but the currently research about the end-to-end delay analysis for an AFDX data network is very pessimistic due to provisioning for the worst-case. This article focuses on improving the AFDX end-to-end delay performance. With stricter constraints on AFDX, a scheduling algorithm is designed to guarantee that critical tasks are conflict-free, it combines binary search with a worst match algorithm based on pinwheel to separate the start time of every safety-critical task. Due to this, the end-to-end delay for safety-critical tasks is shorter and the performance can be improved. A simulation is built and the result proves that the end-to-end delay performance is improved and our solution is useful.
