All major topics adressed at CESA 2014

As we said already yesterday, the connected car and autonomous driving were really the two major trends at the CESA 3.0. These trends have been adressed in different ways, from a technical side but also from a HMI perspective.

This morning, a round table was organized to discuss human factors. It was one of the most interestinf of the event. Experts from OEMs (Renault),l Tier 1 suppliers  (Continental, Visteon), labs (LAB, IFSTTAR) and even aeronautics (Thales Avionics) commented how they were trying to keep driver's attention focused on the road. The conclusion is : one HMI doesn't fit for all situations.

There is for sure an HMI to invent for autonomous driving. That's the task in France of VeDeCoM institute for instance.


In the morning, attendees heard from two OEMs representatives. Jean-Marc Finot, VP for research and innovation at PSA, talked about electrification, ADAS, connected car HMI and autonomous driving. Ralf Herrtwich, Director Advanced Engineering and Group Research at Daimler made a keynote speech on the autonomous car. He told that it was not so easy, that it would take time due to ISO 26262 standard and that a self driving car would not solve necessarily traffic jams. But, this car will be much more comfortable. Daimler sees a future also in car sharing to offer at an afforable price autonomous driving.


In conclusion, you can see on that chart the main keywords that can resume what the CESA 3.0 was all about. It's the result of interviews made by the congress chaiman, Jochen Langheim.

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
