Description of the research topic:
Nowadays the automotive industry is considered to be one of the main branches of modern economy. Nearly 100 million vehicles are produced annually worldwide. Due to stricter safety regulations and the emergence of autonomous driving, the number of sensors in vehicles is continuously increasing. Apart from the safety functions (e.g. Anti-lock Brake System, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control System), the usage of comfort functions (e.g. Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control etc.) has also become a commonplace. A key step in the functioning of safety-critical systems is to surely detect the position and behavior of the vehicle as a physical object in due time.
The functioning of the systems mentioned above is based on the signals of sensors mounted into the vehicle. However, the signals alone are not sufficient as they are useless without an appropriate vehicle dynamics model. The development of safety-critical systems covers a large spectrum of science and technology: digital signal conditioning and processing, application specific numerical mathematical methods, application of vehicle dynamics physical models, control theory etc.
During research the applicant has to analyze the models of safety-critical systems and disclose their limits of applicability. The goal is to improve the feasibility of the current models or to develop a model that describes more phenomena, thus involves more safety. According to the above-mentioned wide range of sciences, this effort may include the examination of the reliability of vehicle signals, the offset compensation of sensors and expanding the boundaries of the applied numerical mathematical or control theory methods. All this shall be performed in such a manner that the intention of change as a research is sufficiently grounded in theory and, preferably, also verified in practice. This should be done in a way that the results of the research can be integrated in the products of automotive suppliers within a short period of time.
