Introduction
The Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) group at Scania develops key functionality for all Scania vehicles. A thesis project at the group and Scania is a great opportunity to work on the forefront of ADAS development and an excellent way of making contacts for your future working life.

Background
Today’s heavy-vehicle customers demand more advanced driving assistance systems. These functions are very important to make the traffic environment more safe and reduce cognitive load on the driver. One important part is the Advanced Emergency Brake (AEB) system. That will brake the vehicle and avoid / mitigate the severity of any collision.

Objective
To develop a model to enhance the AEB systems adapting to external conditions.
 

Job description
To perform a study to see what external conditions (e.g. temperature, road slope etc.) can be detected with current information available in the vehicle, and how big impact these factors have on the breaking performance. Develop a model that adapts the function behaviour to these changes in external conditions. The algorithm should be evaluated in a vehicle on a test track. The implementation will be done in MATLAB Simulink.

Education
Master student (civilingenjör) in mechatronics, vehicle engineering or similar. The student should preferably have a profile in vehicle dynamics, programming.
Number of students: 1
Start data: January 2025
Estimated time needed: 20 weeks.
