CESA abstract : from ACC to economic cruise control (Valeo)

Highly automated driving is one of the current challenges in the automotive industry. Driven by legal regulation as well as committees like EuroNCAP current and future vehicles are equipped with camera, radar, ultrasonic and laser sensors to fulfill the requested customer and safety contents.

Contrary to this, current highly automated driving projects mostly use sensors and measurement equipment (e.g. Differential GPS and initial measurement platform) or 360° Laserscanners with low capabilities to be integrated in series vehicles due to the facts of high costs or installation requirements.

In this discourse Valeo and IAV want to show possible attempts of using already available sensors and actuators to perform highly automated driving functionality with an energy efficient driving example in the context of driving public. This functionality “Economic Cruise Control (ECC)” can be seen as an enhanced Adaptive Cruise Control “ACC” functionality which is deciding about passing opportunities and performing the lane change itself to keep the vehicle in constant speed flow or performing lane change on demand. As a direct consequence this effectively highly automated function needs access to brake, engine and steering to perform longitudinal and lateral control.

Therefore it is necessary to impose requirements regarding communication interfaces of powertrain and chassis systems as well as knowing vehicle specific characteristic curves for function calculation.

Finally Valeo and IAV want to show system boundaries of this basic highly automated driving functionality in different environments, e.g. highway and urban areas and practicable solutions by using available or soon available technologies.

Ottmar Sirch (BMW) to discuss 48 volt at CESA 2012

Image
CESA speaker Top expert from BMW, Ottmar Sirch will make a presentation on 48 volt in Paris, during CESA 2012. He's focusing on dual voltage as the responsible for the Predevelopment of Vehicle Electrical Power Supply Systems. In Munich, the predevelopment projects cover all subjects of electrical power supply in vehicles with combustion engines as well as Hybrid and Electric vehicles. Mr Sirch came to SIA office in Suresnes, near Paris to share his vision for 48 v, a few days ago.

SASHA reduces cost of development of safety critical systems

Image
Last week, an important research project on functional safety just ended. Called SASHA (for Safety check of Automotive Software & Hardware Architecture), this two-year project driven by 6 partners was established to better understand the new standard for functional safety, ISO26262. This standard was applied to a real case of the development of an E-Gas system in order to create a tool for an optimized development process. It also included the modeling of a novel 32bit-microcontroller (ASIL C/D compatible) in TLM (Transaction Level Model). Such modeling allows to make software for a new microcontroller before its final hardware is available and to check details of the interior behavior of the device without opening it. Partners of the project were: - STMicroelectronics, Research partner and Coordinator, - Renault, Delphi, Knowledge Inside, Université de Compiegne and ESG France, Partners. The project was initiated inside Systematic and Moveo clusters and was funded by
