“Powertrain development 22 always involves
The vehicle with the serial number Alpha Delta 227529 caused a genuine sensation. In 1982, when the modest Renault 9 was voted European Car of the Year ahead of the Opel Ascona C, the Knight Industries Two Thousand model appeared in the USA. It came equipped with environment detection, voice control and autonomous driving functions. Unfortunately it was only available on the TV screen, because K.I.T.T. with David Hasselhoff at the wheel was the central character in the Knight Rider series. As well as representing technical perfection, it could also make jokes when looking for a parking space: “The other night I was parked in a garage that was so small the mice were hunchbacked.” Speaking cars have now become a feature of normal life and we are only a very short time away from having cars that can search independently for parking spaces. Automated valet parking will allow drivers to leave their cars at the entrance to the parking garage and activate the automated parking function from their smartphones. The vehicle will then set off without a driver and park in its assigned space, guided by the infrastructure. It will also return to the driver on request. However, it goes without saying that the system must operate reliably under all types of conditions. When evaluating the work involved in developing the vehicles of tomorrow, one key question needs to be answered: Is it possible to effectively and, at the same time, efficiently validate AD functions within the budget and schedule of the project? A model-based systems engineering approach could allow the complex requirements to be managed on all levels.

When after years of development involving a range of experts from different disciplines, the work of art that we call a car and that consists of around 10,000 individual components is finally completed, it is a source of fascination, not only for industry outsiders. “It always involves interdisciplinary teamwork,” says Dr. Gerald Eifler from ElringKlinger Motortechnik. In the interview, he discusses with ATZ how complex systems can be managed effectively and why test rigs play an essential role in testing hybrid drives. Frank Jung
