MSc Thesis - Modelling and Control of Vehicle Chassis Systems with Wheel-End Actuation

Technology, Data & Digital · Software & Web Development · Software Engineering · Embedded Systems

In short

This MSc thesis focuses on modeling and controlling vehicle chassis systems with wheel-end actuation for heavy commercial vehicles, particularly in the context of electrification. The project involves developing and validating vehicle models, obtaining parameters through measurements, modeling semi-active actuators, and synthesizing control strategies using MATLAB/Simulink and IPG Truckmaker.

Responsibilities

Develop and validate vehicle models for global chassis control in IPG Truckmaker.
Obtain vehicle parameters using measurement data and system identification to enable estimation of un-measurable states.
Develop semi-active damping actuator models of different technologies.
Synthesize, test and validate control strategies for the developed semi-active actuators.

Requirements

Control theory skills.
Vehicle dynamics skills.
Signal processing skills.
Recommended for two students with control analysis profile with good mathematical skills.

Desired Qualifications

Interest in mathematical modeling is seen as a benefit.
MATLAB/Simulink will be used as the primary development environments.
IPG Truckmaker will be used as the primary development environments.

Benefits

Dedicated support from experienced supervisors.
Project contributes to company's vital goals.
Opportunity to make a real impact.
Advance academic journey and professional growth.
