How Cars are Becoming Safer with Interior Cameras and AI

article imageCommon restraint systems - such as seat belts and airbags, which secure vehicle occupants in their seats in the event of an accident and protect them from injury in the event of a collision - are designed for a man who is 1.75 m tall and weighs 78 kg. They therefore only provide optimum protection for people who meet this standard. To change this, Patrick Laufer at IAV has developed a method that uses an interior camera, originally installed in the vehicle for drowsiness and distraction detection of the driver, to recognize the gender and estimate the height and weight of the occupants. This will allow future restraint systems to be personalized and optimize safety for each person in the car.

The Future of Automobiles Climate Comfort Optimization lies in Virtual Methods

article imageWith the introduction of electromobility, air conditioning and climate comfort are becoming massively more important. Unlike the internal combustion engine, which can always provide sufficient waste heat for heating and operates all electrical consumers in the interior via the generator, the driver of an e-car pays for any heating or cooling power required with a loss of range. In addition, due to increasing competition in the industry, thermal comfort in the vehicle cabin is increasingly coming into focus as a differentiating feature. ARRK Engineering is therefore working on simulating the complex thermal processes with the aid of hardware and software dummies, as well as drawing up a comfort specification. Based on these results, the application work is to be virtualized to a large extent in the future, thus not only achieving a more objective result, but also saving development time and costs.

ASAM Invites to OpenTEST Concept Project Proposal Workshop

article imageThe ASAM Test Specification Study Group aimed to provide an overview on test methods and environments and to clarify the role of data-driven development and the importance of test data management (report.asam.net). Based on this work, the project group proposed the development of a new Standard for test specifications (ASAM OpenTEST). ASAM is now hosting a proposal workshop to start a concept project which aims to develop a technical basis as well as clear requirements for this test specification standard. Additionally, it shall enhance the ASAM test specification report by adding aspects such as V2X, cybersecurity or AI.

Performing Topology Optimization with Milling Constraints

article imageTopology optimization is associated with extreme design freedom and thus extreme performance, but the resulting designs are often incompatible with conventional manufacturing techniques. The development of manufacturing constraints for topology optimization is an active research topic. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software supports milling constraints, and in this blog post we will explain how to use such functionality and show examples.
