Embedded Systems Design for Electric Vehicles
Next generation electric vehicles will radically change the design paradigms in the automotive domain. There is a broad agreement that these electric vehicles require an entire redesign of the electrical/electronic infrastructure. Although a significant fraction of innovation in modern cars is already driven by electronics, there is still a number of research challenges that need to be addressed before fully-functional, completely electric vehicles become a practical reality.
The project shall investigate techniques to design energy-efficient and low-priced ECU (electronic control unit) architectures for electric vehicles. This comprises the design of ECUs as well as the layout of the in-vehicle communication network. The goal of the project is to provide a sustainable ECU architecture as well as a design methodology that supports and improves the development process.
