With over 7,100 employees around the globe, we develop revolutionary and efficient drive systems, we cross-link vehicles with each other and their surroundings, and we strive to make our lives safer using intelligent systems. We need the right people at the right place to do so. People who turn visions into reality – who think outside the box and promote innovation. People who are ready to push the envelope. Are you ready?
Tasks
The European Commission is going to publish the new Euro 7 standard shortly, with the target of reducing the impact on pollutant emissions due to transportation systems. The incoming regulation will point out the role of On-Board Monitoring (OBM) as a key enabler to ensure limited emissions over the whole vehicle lifetime, necessarily taking into account the natural aging of involved systems and possible electronic/mechanical faults and malfunctions.
In this scenario, this research activity aims to study the potential of data-driven approaches in detecting emission-relevant engine and after-treatment faults. For this purpose, machine learning models can help to detect and identify different faults of components and sensors , by taking as input measurements and Engine Control Unit (ECU) signals already present on-board. The models shall be firstly optimized, trained, and tested on simulation data generated by a validated 0-D Simulink model and by the engines at the test cells. In view of vehicle on-board application, the developed model shall be implemented on a real-time hardware to evaluate its real-time capability. The activity research will be carried out in collaboration with international partners and it will require a period abroad.
