In this work we evaluate the use of several real-time dense stereo algorithms as a passive 3D sensing technology for potential use as part of a driver assistance system or autonomous vehicle guidance. A key limitation in prior work in this area is that although significant comparative work has been done on dense stereo algorithms using de facto laboratory test sets only limited work has been do...

The main motivating factor driving this research is to find differences between the automotive related companies in Malaysia and Indonesia with regard to quality engineering (QE) implementation. A comparative study between Malaysia and Indonesia provides the opportunity to gain perspective and thorough understanding of the similarities and differences on the critical factors for successful QE p...

Context. Testing and verification of automotive embedded software is a major challenge. Software production in automotive domain comprises three stages: Developing automotive functions as Simulink models, generating code from the models, and deploying the resulting code on hardware devices. Automotive software artifacts are subject to three rounds of testing corresponding to the three productio...

This article aims at strategic vision to technology and suggests a strategic planning for this purpose. The main emphasis in this article is on strategic report compilation in the framework of strategic vision and covers issues such as identification of strategic planning dimensions and strategic vision levels, technology priority setting, environment monitoring, focus on costumer needs, method...

There have been major advances in formal methods and related tools in embedded system design in recent years that support analysis and optimization of heterogeneous automotive architectures. We give an introduction of the tool SymTA/S and demonstrate its application to an automotive example where we analyze system sensitivity and explore the design space. Such results cannot be obtained by simu...

MEMS-based timing devices offer high reliability (including AEC-Q100 certification for automotive use), extended operating temperatures, small size, and low power consumption. Video surveillance, automotive ADAS, general industrial applications, and data transmission to 10 Gbps are prime areas of usage today. The next milestone will be next-generation MEMS resonators that achieve very low phase...

Today, with progress and developments have been done in motor cars, cars have been produced with high speed and acceleration. But this increasing in speed and acceleration, have caused many concerns about tragic driving accidents and events. Until now, many models have presented about prevention of accidents, in order to reduce these concerns. In this paper, we are going to design a multi agent...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become attractive for engineering structural applications due to their excellent specific strength property and are increasingly seen as alternative to the conventional materials particularly in the automotive industry. In this study, a historical background on the development and application of metal matrix composite for automotive brake rotor is presented. ...

One great challenge for OEMs is to manage the complex supply processes. In order to reduce this complexity, they could integrate large suppliers into so-called Automotive Supplier Parks. In the end, large suppliers would have many small one-to-one plants in Supplier Parks with low economies of scale and high costs. This paper illustrates the key problems of traditional Supplier Parks and presen...

In sheet metal forming processes with complex strain paths, a part is subjected to large plastic deformation. This severe plastic deformation leads to high plastic strain localization zones and subsequent accumulation of those strains. Then internal and superficial micro-defects and in other words ductile damage is created. This damage causes quality problems such as fracture. Therefore, design...
