A huge thank to the colleagues from TU Ilmenau for hosting us at the ThEx, paving the floor for insightful discussions, and creating impressive experiences with a great tour through Erfurt’s old town and a dinner at “Das Ballenberger”.

Impressions from Erfurt

Key discussion points:

  • aligning the timing between prototype available, control strategy development, and test facility availability
  • strengthening the interaction between the work-packages, for example how the simulation environment can be used for design space exploration and to provide guidance for early decision making (frontloading)
  • and for sure a recap of all the inputs required to finalize our mid-term report

Again, thanks a lot to our colleagues hosting and all participants for the fruitful exchange. Looking forward to the next meeting and further evolution in our project!

HighScape @ RTR 2024

Beginning of this year, the HighScape project was presented along with further great research projects at the RTR2024. We are herewith inviting you to watch the recording on the presentation given on the HighScape project.

SAE World Congress Experience (SAE WCX)

Past week, I attended the SAE International‘s WorldCongressExperience (SAE WCX) at HuntingtonPlace in Detroit. It was my third time already, that I participated actively in this event as a speaker in a special session. This year the session on “Electric Vehicle Drivetrain Dynamics for in-wheel motors Application” was chaired by my colleague Dr. Valentin Ivanov.

In my speech, I presented my recent research on “Integrated Chassis Control for Energy-Efficient Operation of a 2WD Battery-Electric Vehicle with In-Wheel Propulsion”, that was started with the EVC1000 Project and is currently investigated in the HighScape project. Both are funded by the European Commission and CINEA.
I’d like to express my gratitude to my co-authors Thomas Mitsching, Sebastian Gramstat, Matthias Lenz, and Valentin Ivanov, from AUDI and Smart Vehicle Systems – Working Group, respectively, who remarkably contributed with their ideas and expertise to the article and presentation.

Besides the interesting sessions and professional aspects of the congress, I also took the opportunity to network with other researchers in person, looking forward to continue talks and exchange on interesting ideas.
