Automatic Transformation of System Models in Automotive Electronics

Evaluation and refinement of system models often require modifications in the model that follow concrete rules. In this work, a method for a flexible automation of such transformation steps will be presented. It allows savings in development time and reduces the error proneness. Therefore, a tool for rule based manipulation of VHDL design descriptions has been extended to enable its use with sy...

Development of Embedded Automotive Electronics at Architectural/performance Level

During research on solving multidisciplinary problems in flight control design [1], functional level design tools like Ctrl-C®, MatriX® and later Matlab® were developed. These generic tools permitted to easily combine models from different engineering disciplines and e.g. permitted to improve the accuracy of navigation alignment filters by more than a factor 100 and reduced the alignment time b...

Applications of Power Electronics in Automotive Power Generation

This paper focuses on the use of switched-mode power electronics to enhance the power, efficiency, and transient performance of Lundell alternators. The application of power electronics in conjunction with both the alternator field and armature are explored. It is shown that the combination of a foil field winding and improved field control electronics enable substantial improvements in field p...

Automotive Electronics - Opportunities and challenges for Nigeria ’ s Auto Sector

The origins of the ongoing automotive – electronics components convergence can perhaps be traced back to the late 1980s, when Mercedes and its supplier Robert Bosch GmbH developed the electronic stability control, a system designed to help prevent accidents by monitoring a car's trajectory and correcting this when it strays from the direction in which the driver is steering. The enormous benefi...
