Simulation

Question

Simulation

Accepted Answer

ADAS
Identify and develop simulation ADAS use cases required for functional verification and validation in Commercial Vehicle applications and generate adequate, interchangeable models (e.g. Radar, LKA, AEB)

NVH
Create a process to model and characterise electric motor efficiency, thermal behaviour, control for current ripple reduction, NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness), mechanical and electrical operating limits

Flexible body dynamics
Develop a process to generate simulation models for incorporating a flexible body and dynamic suspension into the full vehicle simulation of an electric vehicle with the aim of fine-tuning ride/handling dynamics

Battery modelling
Create a process to model/characterise battery recharge performance, degradation and thermal behaviour for parameter identification and system validation

Energy management
Develop a thermal simulation for the whole vehicle to address battery pack temperature, heat dissipation from
powertrain/electronics and passenger cabin/payload area temperature, ultimately exploring optimal control strategies to improve both range and performance

Importing environment
Support integration of all generated models with the IPG Carmaker software and deployment on a dynamic simulator

Model order reduction
Develop an Automated Model Order Reduction process (AMOR) and demonstrate its application in the simulation of selected components such as batteries, motors

Platooning
Develop and validate a simulation process for the creation and run of realistic convoy driving situations to produce an optimal control strategy under conflicting requirements such as safety, space usage, aerodynamic drag and efficient use of batteries for range and degradation
