Highly Automated Drive Engineer

MOOC - Highly Automated Drive Engineer

Vehicle control overview

The aim of the first unit is to give a general overview of connected and automated driving. At the first two elements the unit presents the motivations to develop automated vehicles and the well-known standardized SAE levels (Society of Automotive Engineers). The third and the fourth elements presents the general approach of vehicle controlling and the testing and validation process of the new functions in these vehicles.


Requirements for advanced powertrains:

The element gives basic data (numbers and figures) on the performance of alternative vehicles and shall strengthen the sensibility to the requirements related to practice of alternative powertrains.

ADCEUR.U1.E4.PC1
The student knows the amount of energy needed for driving a certain distance, depending on the vehicle class.
ADCEUR.U1.E4.PC2
The student knows the efficiency of different powertrain concepts and the energy density of different fuels.
ADCEUR.U1.E4.PC3
The student knows how to evaluate, which performance is allowed and acceptable for different vehicles and their applications.
ADCEUR.U1.E4.PC4
The student knows the key performance figures and values of alternative powertrains and is able to set them in correlation.
