The electronic system of a modern vehicle is essential to achieve a successful automotive product. Vehicle development is performed by integrating components that include embedded electronics from several suppliers.

This thesis present results on the subject of integration of automotive electronic systems. Our studies aim at providing knowledge on how to integrate automotive electronic systems successfully in a setting where vehicles are developed based on existing platforms. We focus on early phases of automotive electronic system development and in particular on the decisions taken in integration of electronic sub-systems. The contribution is the presented support for making decisions to successfully integrate electronic systems for modern vehicles. The contribution includes an overview of driving factors of automotive electronics system design, a validated set of success practices for the integration of electronic components, and the proposal and demonstration of a decision model. The influential factors and the validated set of practices stems from case studies of products and projects while the proposed decision model is a result of combining two general models for architecture analysis and decision making, ATAM and AHP.

We demonstrate that choices in strategy and design preceding integration are central to achieve a successful integration. Our studies show that problems arise from omitted strategy decisions and we provide a checklist for decision making in the areas; functionality, platform, integration design, and assigning responsibilities. We provide a recommendation that we validate in a multiple cases study where fulfillment of recommendations is demonstrated to affect project success in integration projects.

The potential gain for OEMs using our results lies in achieving more solid foundations for design decisions. Designers and managers could potentially find central decisions on integration strategy early that, if omitted, could cause delays. Thus, applying the result could avoid pitfalls and enable successful integration projects.

This master thesis is a portion of the DySCAS project and work is performed at Enea AB. DySCAS (Dynamically Self-Configuring Automotive Systems) is a research project funded by the European

This thesis concentrates on future vehicle electronic systems. During a life cycle of the car vehicle manufacturers desire to upgrade or add new functions into the vehicle electronic systems, this is not possible with the static-runtime environment that employed into today’s car.

To tackle this difficult problem many technologies were gathered and a dynamically self-configuring automotive system was introduced by combining technologies like self-managing, service-based and middleware.

The obtained results fulfilled most of DySCAS requirements. However, the system has a few limitations and these are caused by the immature of distributed reconfigurable embedded systems in the market.

Testing plays a very important role for assuring the quality of developed software. In a modern vehicle, more and more of the functionality is controlled by software and the complexity of the software always increases. The expectations on automating the testing process are to save time and to reach an even higher quality.

In this thesis, which was performed at ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a new tool for automated tests is studied. The tool is used for software in the loop simulation based system tests. The user specifies which outputs that shall be observed and which inputs that can be controlled. Based on these prerequisites, test cases are generated.

It has been studied how to apply the tool, how the test case generation can be influenced, on which systems it successfully could be used and which results that could be reached with the tool. The tool has been evaluated on the hand of two real-life examples; the software of an automatic transmission and of a pressure controller, a module of this software. It was found that there are many interesting possibilities to apply the tool in order to support the present testing process.

Stringent regulatory requirements and modern diesel engine technologies have engaged automotive manufacturers and researchers in accurately predicting and controlling diesel engine-out emissions. As a result, engine control systems have become more complex and opaquer, increasing the development time and costs. To address this challenge, Model-based control methods are an effective way to deal with the criticality of the system study and controls. And physics-based combustion engine modeling is a key to achieve it. This thesis focuses on development and validation of a physics-based model for both engine and emissions using model-based design tools from MATLAB & Simulink. Engine model equipped with exhaust gas circulation and variable geometry turbine is adopted from the previously done work which was then integrated with the combustion and emission model that predicts the heat release rates and NO x emission from engine. Combustion model is designed based on the mass fraction burnt from CA10 to CA90 and then NO x predicted using the extended Zeldovich mechanism. The engine models are tuned for both steady state and dynamics test points to account for engine operating range from the performance data. Various engine and combustion parameters are estimated using parameter estimation toolbox from MATLAB and Simulink by applying least squared solver to minimize the error between measured and estimated variables. This model is validated against the virtual engine model developed in GT-power for Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel engine. To account the harmonization of the testing cycles to save engine development time globally, a world harmonized stationary cycle (WHSC) is used for the validation. Sub-systems are validated individually as well as in loop with a complete model for WHSC. Engine model validation showed promising accuracy of more than 88.4 percent in average for the desired parameters required for the NO x prediction. NO x estimation is accurate for the cycle except warm up and cool down phase. However, NO x prediction during these phases is limited due to actual NO x measured data for tuning the model for real time NO x estimation. Results are summarized at the end to compare the trend of NO x estimation from the developed combustion and emission model to show the accuracy of in-cylinder parameters and required for the NO x estimation.

This study aims to review the advancements in formula one racing car technologies over the years. Formula one has become an automotive for NASA and the home of research and development for the motor industry. The objective of formula one technology is to study the advancements and make changes in the industry of automobiles accordingly. Most driver use automatic transmissions and another objective would be to switch to manual transmissions so that cruising can be done easily. This further helps the driver to control the flow of speed and control the car accordingly. One objective has been to change the car interior and safety measures along with brakes. This one of the major improvement’s cars have been working around and proved to a major reason for success. A turbocharger has been introduced in cars that improves on a naturally aspirated engine’s power output by using a turbine forced induction device to force extra air into a combustion chamber. Racing cars further test limits of what the systems are capable of and they are a great tool of marketing.

Aims and Objectives The aim of this study is to compare and analyze independent wheel vehicle suspension and conventional vehicle suspension system. Vehicle suspensions have always been considered as an essential component to alleviate the impact from road excitations to the vehicle body to ensure the properties of comfortable driving, good handling and safety of vehicles. These are often implemented by car companies for their cost effectiveness and reliabilities and often confronted with contradictions between handling performance and ride comfort. To date many engineers have made great effort to improve the properties of vehicle suspensions that include active suspensions and semiactive suspensions applied to luxury passengers. For manufactures, however, they are often faced with the inconvenience associated with these advanced suspensions, such as high cost, uncertain reliability, huge power consumption, and inherent complexity. Therefore, in order to overcome the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional and advanced suspensions, novel passive suspension systems are being adopted in automotive industry. The interconnected suspension system is one of the most effective passive suspension systems that can eliminate the compromise between vehicle stability and ride performance. In contrast to conventional suspensions, interconnected suspensions not only are capable of uncoupling the four suspension modes (bounce, pitch, roll, and warp), but also have advantages in controlling stiffness and damping of each suspension mode.

Aims and Objectives This study aims to evaluate the use of night vison technology in automobiles and to further use a case study on how safety of drivers and freight automobiles that move at night and how it can increase. The objectives are related with a well-maintained vehicle and how it will allow for safer driving at night and reduce the risk of the driver getting stranded and it can be improved by following practices:

• Properly aligned headlights will help you see the road better and also prevent you from blinding oncoming drivers - We advise having them checked regularly with your dealer/mechanic.
• Check that all exterior lights work properly - front and rear, brake lights, turn signals and high beams.
• It is best to ensure that they both work at the same level of efficiency or to replace them in pairs.
• They must also be clean as dirty headlights can greatly reduce efficiency.
• Your brake lights need to give drivers behind you the critical warning and reaction time when you need to make an emergency stop.
• Ensure your windows and headlights are clean (inside and outside). Dirty windows can add to glare and impair vision, making it more difficult to see.
• This will also prevent frost, ice or condensation from placing further restrictions on visibility.

Aims and Objectives The automotive industry is undergoing a revolution where the more traditional mechanical values are replaced by an ever-increasing number of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) where advanced algorithms and software development are taking a bigger role. Increased safety, reduced emissions and the possibility of completely new business models are driving the development and most automotive companies have started projects that aim towards fully autonomous vehicles. For industrial applications that provide a closed environment, such as mining facilities, harbors, agriculture and airports, full implementation of the technology is already available with increased productivity, reliability and reduced wear on equipment as a result. However, it also gives the opportunity to create a safer working environment when human drivers can be removed from dangerous working conditions. As technology is increasing and artificial technology is replacing most of the manual functions it is assisting in daily driving of users.  Motion planning can be considered as one the basic challenges within robotic sciences which has been researched upon by many analysts over the past few decades and it resulted in different algorithms with various specifications. Motion planning for an autonomous vehicle is a procedure to find a path from initial process to the final state by avoiding any further collision from obstacles. It can also be called as a piano mover’s problem.

Aims and Objectives The automotive indus The primary aim of RBDO is to identify optimum designs which have a low probability of failure under uncertainties. Robust design optimization aims at finding optimum designs that are less sensitive to variations. Robust design optimization in general also aims at restricting the probability of failure to a minimum. In the automotive industry, the time to market has been significantly reduced in recent years. Simulation-based design processes play a vital role in reducing the product development cycle time. Advancements in computational power and efficient algorithms have made the simulation-based design process faster and more efficient, and also made it possible to include structural optimization. Furthermore, increased safety requirements and emission targets have led the automotive industry to focus on developing light-weight body structure design without compromising performance level. Consequently, the use of simulation-based design optimization in the product development process is increasing in order to achieve this target. Conventional deterministic optimization methods do not incorporate uncertainties. The optimum design obtained under deterministic conditions might be sensitive to input variations such as variations in material properties, geometry or loading conditions. Previously, the effect of these uncertainties was minimized by using high level safety factors. However, often these safety factors negatively affect weight efficiency. Consequently, it is necessary to consider the variations in input variables during optimization in order to identify designs that can handle uncertainties without failing to fulfil performance requirements.

Aims and Objectives The objective of this study is to predict the real-life benefits, namely the number of injuries avoided rather than the reduction in impact speed, offered by a Vacuum Emergency Brake (VEB) added to a pedestrian automated emergency braking (AEB) system. To achieve this through the virtual simulation of simplified mathematical models of a system which incorporates expected future advances in technology, such as a wide sensor field of view, and reductions in the time needed for detection, classification, and brake pressure build up. The German In-Depth Accident Study database and the related Pre-Crash Matrix, both released in the beginning of 2016, were used for this study and resulted in a final sample of 526 collisions between passenger car fronts and pedestrians. Weight factors were calculated for both simulation model and injury risk curves to make the data representative of Germany as a whole. The accident data was used with a hypothetical AEB system in a simulation model, and injury risk was calculated from the new impact speed using injury risk curves to generate new situations using real accidents.

Aims and Objectives The objective for the Active Solar Heating and Cooling Program (U.S. Department of energy) is to develop the technology base to allow the private sector to produce efficient, economically competitive solar technology options for the marketplace. The program encompasses a balance of research on systems, components, and materials. The systems research directs the program through analysis of alternative, advanced concepts in heating and cooling. Additionally, research in systems reliability provides data on critical components and materials that affect long-term performance. The analysis and reliability programs are augmented by a laboratory and field-test program that develops data on experimental and state-of-the-art systems. These data identify design and operational problems and, thus, opportunities for research. The research has fused on understanding and improving the heat and mass transfer characteristics of the dehumidifier component of desiccant cooling systems. In line with this effort the study evaluated the steady-state performance of hybrid desiccant/vapor compression systems, in a number of configurations, and compared the use of resource energy to that of conventional air-conditioning systems. This study will evaluate the potential for developing hybrid systems by using current knowledge in dehumidifier design and will point the way for further research, if warranted.

Aims and Objectives The study aims to evaluate how important is the need to vehicle support for safe individual mobility. The aim of this report has two main aims. First, to analyze individual mobility data to obtain fundamental statistical parameters of driving patterns for both conventional and electric vehicles. In doing so, the information contained in large mobility datasets is condensed into compact and concise descriptions through modelling observed distributions of mobility variables by expected theoretical distributions. Specifically, the stretched exponential distribution is shown to model rather accurately the distribution of single-trips and their duration, and the scale-invariant power-law with exponential cut-off the daily mobility length, the distance travelled per day. In contrast to many other discussions about sustainable futures, this vision tries to go beyond conventional perspectives and mainly technological based approaches. Its basic idea is rooted in the participation and engagement of citizens, bottom-up processes of niches, new businesses and management strategies and responsible governance.

Automotive students get 2024 Mustang GTO from Acton Ford

‘a chance to see what today’s cars have in them’.

WESTFORD — Students in the Automotive Technology program at Nashoba Valley Technical High School have some snazzy new wheels.

Acton Ford donated a shiny red 2024 Mustang GT that students will use to train for a career as an auto technician.

The donation is a win-win for Nashoba Tech and Acton-Ford: The students are able to learn about automobile maintenance on a brand-new model, while the dealership gets to assist in developing the next generation of auto mechanics.

“Getting our hands on the most up-to-date technology gives the students a chance to see what today’s cars have in them,” Automotive Technology instructor Richard Magaw said. “The technology changes so fast, so being able to expose them to a brand-new vehicle while teaching them is invaluable.”

Acton Ford, on Powdermill Road in Acton, regularly employs Nashoba Tech students through the school’s Cooperative Education program, as well as students who have graduated.

“At Acton Ford, we are deeply committed to developing the next generation of automotive technicians,” said Chris Abatsis, general manager of Acton Ford. “Our partnership with schools like Nashoba Valley Technical High School is invaluable, as it allows us to work together toward our mutual goal of fostering excellence in automotive education. We are immensely grateful for the dedication and professionalism shown by the co-op students, who continually inspire us with their hard work and eagerness to learn.

“This donation not only symbolizes our commitment to hands-on learning but also signifies the incredible opportunities that lie ahead for these students,” Abatsis added. “We look forward to witnessing the positive impact of this donation and continuing our partnership with the school to empower aspiring automotive professionals.”

Before the presentation, Automotive Technology students saw a presentation by Mat Paras, a representative of the Ford ASSET program at Manchester (N.H.) Community College.

ASSET, which stands for Automotive Student Service Educational Training, is the only educational postsecondary program that includes a paid internship. According to Paras, students in the program alternative eight weeks in the classroom and eight weeks working at their sponsoring Ford dealership over two years.

Acton Ford is a participating dealership in the ASSET program.

Paras told the students that nearly a million technicians are needed nationwide in the auto, diesel, collision and aviation fields, stressing the fact that properly trained technicians should not have a problem finding employment upon graduation.

Tesla settles suit over 2018 Autopilot crash that killed Apple engineer

The settlement amount was not disclosed, court documents say, and it comes a day before the trial was set to begin.

SAN FRANCISCO — Tesla has settled a long-running lawsuit over the 2018 death of a former Apple engineer whose vehicle veered off a highway in Northern California, court documents say, avoiding a lengthy jury trial over what role its driver-assistance technology may have played in the crash.

Details of the settlement were not disclosed in court documents filed Monday — the day before jury selection was set to begin. The case was one of several heading to trial in the coming year in which Tesla’s Autopilot technology is alleged to have contributed to a fatal crash. It appears to be one of Tesla’s first settlements for such a case, a notable moment for a company whose chief executive, Elon Musk, vowed in a 2022 social media post not to settle an “unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.”

At issue was a fatal crash in March 2018, when a Tesla in Autopilot careened into a highway barrier near Mountain View, Calif., after becoming confused by what the company’s lawyers described in court documents as a “faded and nearly obliterated” lane line. Walter Huang, a father of two and an Apple engineer on his morning commute, was allegedly playing a game on his phone while his Tesla steered itself down U.S. Route 101.

Documents filed in the case show that Huang’s vehicle on Autopilot drifted from the “faded” lane line, then started following a clearer one to the left, which put him in the path of a highway safety barrier separating Route 101 from an exit to State Route 85, while going 71 mph.

Huang, 38, was killed. An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board later cited Tesla’s failure to limit the use of Autopilot in such conditions as a contributing factor. The company has acknowledged to the NTSB that Autopilot is designed for areas with “clear lane markings.”

In addition to suing Tesla, Huang’s family also sued the state of California, alleging that the state failed to properly maintain the lane lines and also fix an already-damaged crash barrier in “a timely manner.” It is unclear what effect this settlement will have on that lawsuit.

Tesla and representatives for the Huang family did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The settlement is a surprising twist in the high-profile case, which Tesla has been fighting since Huang’s family sued in April 2019. In its defense against this lawsuit, as well as for others headed to trial this year, Tesla argues that it was not liable because it warns drivers that they are ultimately in control of the vehicle while in Autopilot.

Tesla said it makes “extremely clear” that the driver must be fully alert and have their hands on the wheel while using Autopilot. The company also states in its user manual that the technology may not operate as intended “when unable to accurately determine lane markings” or when “bright light is interfering with the camera’s view.” According to court documents, Huang’s hands were not detected on the wheel within seconds of the crash.

A key question in this case was whether those warnings were enough to spare the company from all liability when it knows about a shortcoming, but still puts the responsibility on the driver to correct for its mistakes. Tesla knew for years that faded lane lines could be a problem, according to complaints filed to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and depositions from top engineers at the company and federal investigators.

If Tesla went through with this trial, its technology would have been subject to intense scrutiny at a time when Musk is aggressively pushing his driver-assistance features out to the public. Last month, Musk doubled down on his Full Self-Driving technology — Tesla’s more sophisticated driver-assistance system — by requiring employees to install and show customers how to use the latest version before completing a sale. He also said in a post on X last week that he intends to unveil a robotaxi in August, though he has been promising fully autonomous cars for years.

Ed Walters, who teaches autonomous-vehicle law at Georgetown Law, said he was surprised Tesla decided to settle, because the facts of Huang’s crash seemed “favorable” for the company. Because the Huang case echoes multiple other lawsuits scheduled for trial, many observers were watching this case closely for its potential to set a precedent for future proceedings.

The outcomes of these trials are critical for the company’s future and for Musk, who has said that Tesla is “worth basically zero” if it cannot make its cars self-driving. The company’s Autopilot technology has been linked to more than 700 crashes since 2019 and at least 19 fatalities, according to a Washington Post analysis of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data.

So far in court, though, Tesla has prevailed: A jury found the company not liable in a case last year over the alleged role of its Autopilot technology in a 2019 crash in Riverside County, Calif.

Two other cases heading to trial later this year or early next year involve drivers that were allegedly distracted at the time of the crash. The complaints detail how human error and emerging technology can collide with deadly results, as both the driver and car on Autopilot failed to react to a hazard in their path. The plaintiffs allege the company’s marketing deceives customers, suggesting the cars are more autonomous than they are in reality.

Tesla’s legal position is that it repeatedly warns drivers that they are ultimately in control of the vehicle, before and while using the Autopilot feature.

Walters said he believes cases involving driver distraction would be “easily winnable” by Tesla. But, when it comes to the Huang trial, he said Tesla probably wanted to avoid the several weeks of potentially damaging attention that the case could have attracted.

“You could win in court, but lose in the trial of public opinion,” he said.

The trial was set to begin at a thorny time for Tesla , which reported disappointing sales numbers last week amid market challenges and reputational hazards. The electric-vehicle company — whose stock is down about 30 percent since the beginning of this year — slashed prices for its cars throughout 2023 to maintain demand, but those cuts were not enough to overcome softening demand in the overall electric-vehicle market.

Tesla is also facing increased scrutiny from regulators over Autopilot. Last year, the company agreed to recall 2 million vehicles — nearly every car it has produced — over criticism that technology invited driver misuse and the company didn’t do enough to curb it. The recall, conducted by a remote update, was the result of a sweeping investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into the technology.

Musk has also courted controversy in the past year as he has espoused hard-line immigration ideals, promoted antisemitic rhetoric, pushed conspiracy theories and criticized liberal causes as a “woke mind virus.” Analysts partly attributed the sales drop to Musk’s polarizing persona.

Karl Brauer, an executive analyst with the car research company iSeeCars.com , said if Tesla continues to settle such cases, or even loses one, investors could “add it to the list of things that have them worried.” While the outcome of one case does not indicate a pattern, he said, it could suggest that Tesla doesn’t think fighting these cases publicly is good for its finances or reputation.

Musk “was overly boastful over how great Autopilot was initially, and how rapidly it was coming to Teslas,” Brauer said. “No matter what you have in the fine print, if you’ve got the head of the company making these public statements, that doesn’t help you in a case where someone dies.”
