Human Senses Mimicking: ​Mechanical Integrity Self-Assessment​

Autonomous driving is expected to revolutionize the automotive industry. This paradigm shift will bring a new level of automotive freedom to customers. From a safety point-of-view, fully autonomous driving means complete delegation of responsibility from driver to car (driver out of the loop), which means that the car is responsible when driving the vehicle and must therefore also replace the perception of the driver concerning mechanical integrity to be able to emergency stop in the event of severe failures.

In this research project, the goal is to develop fault diagnosis algorithms to predict and detect mechanical vehicle anomalies and identify faults through monitoring of dynamic behavior. A beneficial side effect of continuous monitoring of the vehicle dynamic response is high quality data which can be used in the areas of sustainability, vehicle uptime and knowledge of customer usage.
