  4. Concentration of Resources External supporters Participants LargeCompanies SmallVentures University ResearchInstitute Homologation and legislation

  5. Establishment Process

  6. 1. Control of Vehicle Groups • Significant professional and market results even in the first year of operation • Cooperation with inland professional organizations (Association of the Hungarian Automotive Industry, Hungarian Logistics Association, Hungarian Road Transport Association) • Tangible industrial orders (ATEV Kft., MOLTRANS Kft., Hungarian Mail)

  7. 2. Vehicle-environment Contact • Joining into international ITS R&D activities(CVIS - ERTICO project, with Ramsys zRt.) • Participation in home standardization processes(MSZT/MB 911 working group) • Development of a video-basedlane-departure detection and avoidance system

  8. 3. Control on Vehicle Level • Development of an integrated controlmethodology • Application of software technology tools in real-time, distributed control systems • „Stunt SMART” – demonstration of X-by-wire systems • Demonstration of alternative vehicle technologies

  19. Reference Projects

  20. Brake System Design and Investigation Activities • Several projects have been carried out with industrial partners: • Design of software modules for electronic braking system • Trailer electronic brake system investigation • Measurement of brake caliper vibrations • Control algorithm design for electro-mechanic self-amplified brake system • Design and verification of brake systems • Design of brake system components such as • Oil separator for air brakes • Brake components for a cardan shaft parking brake • ….

  21. Theoretical investigations Definition of the vehicle stability control logic – what is the target Selection of the control philosophy Efficiency of the potential actuators (brake, steering, suspension) Identification of the reference model Vehicle stability in-plane (yaw) and out plane (roll, pitch) First vehicle dynamic control system for commercial vehicles is originated from the department in 1991 – since than it is a product of our partner, Knorr Bremse Stability Control System Development

  22. Stability Control System – Steering Intervention • Integration of the electronic steering intervention in the brake system based vehicle dynamic control system has the following effects: • Driver’s workload is significantly reduced – electronic steering intervenes much faster • Stopping distance under mu-split or chess surface is significantly reduced • Brake intervention comes much later, • The autonomous steering makes other functions possible: • Lane departure avoidance • Compensation of road disturbances • Partners (in PEIT project) • DaimlerChrysler • Thyssen Krupp • Knorr Bremse

  23. The drive-line vibration induced by several factors (uncertainties in the driveline, slashes, gear changing errors, etc.) disturb the driver and cause fatigue in the system. Programs have been started in: Modeling of the complete drive-line torsion vibration, Elimination of these vibrations Test bench design is initiated by one of our partner Partners: Knorr Bremse Modeling and Control of the Complete Driveline

  24. System Reliability Investigations for Redundant Systems • Electronically redundant systems will replace the mechanic/pneumatic back-up levels • Requirements for system reliability/availability are much higher • Analytical reliability investigation is required not only on the component, but also on the system level • A safety/reliability investigation has been started with MTA SZTAKI together for an electronically redundant braking system

  25. Facilities

  26. Component test and research lab Facility is about to be built, move in in December

  27. Component test – about to be established, released investment starts Features: • Covers all release and test requirements of mechatronic components inlcuding: • Climatic investigations (temperature, heat shock) • Environmental test (salt and mud spray, gravel bombardment) • EMC and ESD • Vibration • Combinations of the above investigations

  28. Measurements on moving vehicles • Steering robot and measurement wheels • Longitudinal and lateral velocity measurement • Vibration and force measurement • Noise measurement • On-board data acquisition system • Test vehicles (passenger cars and trucks as well)

  29. Strategic Plan 2007-2008

  30. Mission ,Vision, Values • Vision • To be one of the most decisive European R&D and Service Centers in the fields of vehicle electronics and mechatronics. • Values • Multidisciplinary, accessible knowledge at the University • Well defined clientele • Clear determination of the University to establish a kind of organizational unit that operate on the market • Comprehensive professional knowledge and flexible structure resulting in innovative niche-market products

  31. Mission ,Vision, Values • The mission of the Knowledge Center is to collect and provide information for partners belonging to the corporate body as well as to create new knowledge in the area of vehicle electronics and mechatronics. • Consortium partners cover the whole chain of innovation from basic research to product development and marketing. • The Knowledge Center positions itself as an interim body between the academic world and the market economy, bringing market and product centric issues into the system of higher education, moreover, promoting the utilization of the most recent vehicle technology in industry.

  32. Strategic Areas • Education and knowledge transfer • Basic research • Applied research and product development • Infrastructure development • Process development • Marketing and communications
