Nowadays, more and more software is being integrated into a vehicle, evolving it into a Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV). Automotive High Performance Computers (HPCs) serve as enablers by providing more computing infrastructure which can be flexibly used inside a vehicle. However, this leads to a complex vehicle system that needs to function today and in the future. Detecting and rectifying failures as quickly as possible is essential, but existing diagnostic approaches based on Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are not designed for such complex systems and lack of flexibility. DTCs are predefined during vehicle development and changes to vehicle diagnostics require a large amount of modification work. Moreover, diagnostics are not intended to handle dynamically changing software systems and have shortcomings when applied to in-vehicle software systems. In the Cloud, there are already established approaches to observe and diagnose software systems. However, these approaches are too comprehensive and cannot simply be applied to the whole vehicle. Anyway, they are a helpful addition to adapting vehicle diagnostics. Therefore, their vehicle applicability needs to be investigated. In this paper, we discuss the challenges of transferring and adapting the DTC approach to in-vehicle software systems, as well as monitoring and observability approaches to vehicles. Based on this, we introduce a concept for future vehicle diagnostics that addresses existing diagnostic approaches based on DTCs in combination with established approaches for monitoring and observability. Our presented concept provides a basis for further future work in the context of vehicle diagnostics for SDVs.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"18 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141688159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Errors in distance estimation can result in premature or delayed braking and varying road conditions alter road-tire friction coefficients, affecting braking distances. The integration of advanced sensors like LiDARs has significantly enhanced distance estimation. Cameras and deep neural networks are also employed to estimate the road conditions. However, AEB systems face notable challenges in urban environments, influenced by complex scenarios and adverse weather conditions such as rain and fog. Therefore, investigating the error tolerance of these estimations is essential for the performance of AEB systems. To this end, we develop a digital twin of our test vehicle in the IPG CarMaker simulation environment, which includes realistic driving dynamics and sensor models. Our simulated test vehicle is equipped with a distance estimation algorithm and AEB system designed for eventual deployment in its real-world counterpart. We test the vehicle in various simulated test scenarios. This approach facilitates accurate measurement and adjustment of distance and road-tire friction coefficients. The testing protocol begins with the European New Car Assessment Programme (EU NCAP) AEB Car-to-Pedestrian standard. Additionally, our simulation encompasses realistic urban scenarios, featuring complex traffic conditions and diverse weather scenarios, including rain, fog, and varying road surfaces like dry, wet, snow-covered, and icy. Finally, we have determined the error tolerances for various conditions. The simulation process and results reveal that the major challenges involve creating critical scenarios, modeling environments and sensors, and constructing digital twins of test vehicles. Recommendations and insights derived from these findings are also provided.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"27 47","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141684384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional reliance on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) proves to be inadequate, especially in urban areas where signal obstruction and multipath effects degrade accuracy. Addressing this challenge, this paper details the enhancement of a localization system for autonomous public transport vehicles, focusing on mitigating GNSS errors through the integration of a LiDAR sensor. The approach involves creating a 3D map using the factor graph-based LIO-SAM algorithm, which is further enhanced through the integration of wheel encoder and altitude data. Based on the generated map a LiDAR localization algorithm is used to determine the pose of the vehicle. The FAST-LIO based localization algorithm is enhanced by integrating relative LiDAR Odometry estimates and by using a simple yet effective delay compensation method to enable operation at higher velocities. To robustly fuse LiDAR- and GNSS-based position estimates, an emperical motivated geobased adjustment scheme for the covariances of the two datasources is presented. The performance of the mapping and localization components is validated with real driving data, demonstrating improved stability and accuracy compared to the GNSS-based localization system.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"32 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141685200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extensive research has been conducted on the CO2 life cycle analysis of propulsion systems. However, achieving net-zero CO2 emissions requires adjusting key performance indicators for the development of these. Therefore, we investigated the ecological sustainability impacts of various propulsion concepts integrated in a C-segment sports utility vehicle assuming a 100% renewable energy scenario. The propulsion concepts studied include a hydrogen-fueled 48V mild hybrid, a hydrogen-fueled 48V hybrid, a methanol-fueled 400V hybrid, a methanol-to-gasoline-fueled 400V plug-in hybrid, an 800V battery electric vehicle (BEV), and a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). To achieve a comprehensive and objective comparison of various propulsion concepts that meet the same pre-defined customer requirements for system design, we conducted an integrated and prospective Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) using the methodology of DIN EN ISO 14040/44 and the EU Product Environmental Footprint. Unlike other studies, we used an integrated approach to aggregate the Life-Cycle Inventory data. This approach combines model-based system design with physical-empirical simulation models and publicly available LCA databases. Assuming the defossilized energy scenario, it leads to more sustainable propulsion systems, regardless of the propulsion concept. The FCEV has slight advantages, while the BEV has disadvantages that can be improved by reducing requirements or adapting cell chemistry. Based on this, we recommend developing propulsion systems for the future in an open-minded manner, tailored to specific use-cases and targeted requirements, while considering the entire life cycle.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"112 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141687067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Günther, Stefan Pischinger, Simon Böld","doi":"10.4271/2024-01-3015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4271/2024-01-3015","url":null,"abstract":"Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is one of the most important performance evaluation aspects of electric motors. Among the different causes of the NVH issues of electrical drives, the spatial and temporal harmonics of the electrical drive system are of great importance. To reduce the tonal noise of the electric motors induced by these harmonics, harmonic injection methods are applied in many applications. However, a lot of existing researches focus more either on improving the optimization process of the harmonic injection parameter settings, or on the controller design of the harmonic injection process, while the structural dynamic characteristics of the motor are seldom considered. A lot of literature shows that the harmonic injection strategies can more effectively influence the mode 0 (M0) radial forces than the higher spatial orders, so it is more efficient to apply such methods at the frequencies/orders where the effect of mode 0 forces are dominant with respect to the surface vibration or acoustics of the motor. In this paper, a guideline is proposed for the design and optimization of current harmonic injection strategies, where a 2-dimensional linear transfer function is computed to quantify the contributions of different force modes and it is used as the reference for the harmonic injection control settings. The proposed method is tested and validated with the multi-physics co-simulation of a finite-element model for an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), where the influence of the inverter and pulse width modulation (PWM) are also considered and analyzed. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively reduce the surface vibration (~1.5dB) at the chosen sensor location without deteriorating the torque output performance of the IPMSM model.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"41 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141687655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cybersecurity attacks targeting the global time result in false time, accuracy degradation, and denial of service as stated in IETF RFC 7384 [2]. These failures reduce the vehicle availability, robustness, and safety of the road user. IEEE 1588 [3] lists four mechanisms (integrated security mechanism, external security mechanism, architectural solution, and monitoring & management) to secure the global time. AUTOSAR defines the architecture and detailed specifications for the integrated security mechanism “Secured Global Time Synchronization (SGTS)” to secure the global time on automotive networks (CAN, FlexRay, Ethernet). However, there are also external security mechanisms such as MACsec which protect all communication frames (at layer 2) on an Ethernet network. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the need of SGTS in a vehicle E/E architecture. As part of the evaluation, this paper presents the experimental data to demonstrate the impact on the precision of global time with SGTS and MACsec. It describes the constraints that prevent applying the SGTS and/or MACsec on an Ethernet network. It emphasizes the tradeoff between security and precise global time when using SGTS and/or MACsec on an Ethernet network.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"2 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To be able to transfer highly automated driving functions into a simulation, models of the vehicle’s perception sensors such as lidar, radar and camera are required. In addition to the classic pulsed time-of-flight (ToF) lidars, the growing availability of commercial frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidars sparks interest in the field of environment perception. This is due to advanced capabilities such as directly measuring the target’s relative radial velocity based on the Doppler effect. In this work, an FMCW lidar sensor simulation model is introduced, which is divided into the components of signal propagation and signal processing. The signal propagation is modeled by a ray tracing approach simulating the interaction of light waves with the environment. For this purpose, an ASAM Open Simulation Interface (OSI) object list referencing virtual 3D objects provides the input for the ray tracer. The divergence of the continuous laser beam is approximated by super-sampling the beam with multiple rays, the calculation of the received power is supported by the future ASAM OpenMATERIAL standard. Subsequently, the output of the ray tracer serves as the input of the signal processing that adapts the so-called Fourier tracing from the field of radar sensor simulation. This approach uses the range and velocity information of the individual rays to estimate the frequency spectrum of the intermediate frequency signal. A subsequent peak detection algorithm determines the output of the model, which is provided in the form of OSI lidar detections. Verification scenarios are tested to check the plausibility of the output and the source code of the signal processing is made available as open source.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"347 11‐13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Birke","doi":"10.4271/2024-01-2985","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4271/2024-01-2985","url":null,"abstract":"The automotive PowerNet is in the middle of a major transformation. The main drivers are steadily increasing power demand, availability requirements, and complexity and cost. These factors result in a wide variety of possible future PowerNet topologies. The increasing power demand is, among other factors, caused by the progressive electrification of formerly mechanical components and a constantly increasing number of comfort and safety loads. This leads to a steady increase in installed electrical power. X-by-wire systems1 and autonomous driving functions result in higher availability requirements. As a result, the power supply of all safety-critical loads must always be kept sufficiently stable. To reduce costs and increase reliability, the car manufacturers aim to reduce the complexity of the PowerNet system, including the wiring harness and the controller network. The wiring harness e.g., is currently one of the most expensive parts of modern cars. These challenges are met with a wide variety of concepts. To fulfill the increasing power requirements, higher voltage levels can be introduced. Availability requirements can be met with redundant subnets. The complexity of the wiring harness can be reduced by employing a zonal architecture. The changes coming with the chosen topology will have a major impact on the components used in the low-voltage PowerNet and their requirements. In some cases, entirely new components will be necessary. For carmakers and suppliers, it is crucial to understand the different topologies and their implications to develop appropriate and safe components in the future. System simulations are an important tool to support these efforts. Due to the high variance of the discussed topologies and the considerable effort for building the models, we propose the implementation of a simulation toolbox featuring an automized model built-up. Here, the description and modeling of the PowerNet is based on a modular approach, which enables a rapid and efficient model built-up and simulation. This toolbox allows for a fast evaluation and quantitative comparison of different topologies.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141687666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to the influencing factors of exhaust gas temperature, exhaust gas mass flow and dosing quantity, the dosed medium itself (AdBlue) is not considered as a possible influence due to its regulation in ISO-standard 22241. However, as the standard specifies limit value ranges for the individual regulated properties and components for newly sold AdBlue, in reality there is still some margin in the composition.This paper investigates the particle number increase due to AdBlue dosing using several CPCs. The increase in PN is determined by measuring the number of particles after DPF and thus directly before dosing as well as tailpipe. Several AdBlue products from different sources and countries are measured and their composition is also analyzed with regard to the limit values regulated in the standard. This shows that differences in the PN-increase can be determined for the various products. In addition, two measurements are carried out with pure water as a main component of AdBlue in the form of single and double-distilled water. Interestingly, the dosing of pure water also shows an increase in PN depending on the purity of the water. Furthermore, two AdBlue products are artificially aged in order to violate the standardized limit values, which is a feasible use case with regard to ISC tests, and subsequently measured. Since these impurities cannot be influenced but have a noticeable effect on the measured PN, it is important to quantify this and, if necessary, to take it into account in legislation.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"68 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141688293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In ego-motion estimation the side-slip gradient is used to model the lateral velocity of the vehicle, since it cannot be measured directly. The algorithm only requires low-dynamic, steady-state excitation and is based on an adaptive Kalman-Filter assuring high accuracy and stability. The number of radar sensors can be chosen arbitrarily. The algorithm has shown to estimate the side-slip gradient within 10% of its true value. It also rejects radar outliers and does not depend on permanent availability of the radar sensors.
