Automated Driving

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

Autonomous vehicle lab consists of a virtual test drive vehicle setup which helps students to learn creation of detailed road and rail networks with multiple lanes as per requirement, design various types of intersections as well as signaling system by exporting the required data from single source and create 3d models. Students from different disciplines of engineering can learn the configuration, simulation, and customization virtual worlds. Students will gain exposure to various MSC’s tools to face challenges in development and validation of driver assist system to fully autonomous vehicles.

DETAILS

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

This toolkit is an automated, lab based tool useful to create, configure, present and evaluate the virtual environment providing scope for repeatable and realistic like in-lab testing of different road conditions and traffic simulations.Advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS),which is an electronic system that the driver to drive and park vehicle, can be developed with by using VTD toolkit. VTD can also be used for developing automated driving systems.
VTD provides scope to generate 3D content, simulate complex traffic scenario, and simulate simplified or physically driven sensors.

VTD SOFTWARE

The data collected from the field is used to design road network and traffic simulations. Road networks are designed using Road Network Editor (ROD) which includes number of lanes, different types of intersections, traffic signs and signals.

ADVANCED DRIVER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (ADAS)

ADAS is an electronic system beneficial from road safety point of view. It helps drivers to drive and park vehicles safely. It uses different electronic technologies like Micro controller units (MCU), Power semiconductor devices and electronic control units to avoid human errors and develop advanced driver assistance system. This technology helps in avoiding vehicle collisions and control road accidents.

INDUSTRY USES

  • Aerospace and Defense - trainers and simulators, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
  • Automotive - driver assist systems, vehicle to vehicle interactions, traffic simulation, autonomous vehicles
  • Heavy Equipment - agricultural and mining equipment, trucks
  • Government - intelligent highways, vehicle to infrastructure interactions, standards and certification

CORE EQUIPMENTS

BMW N47 Engine BMW N47 is a four-cylinder common rail diesel engine

BMW N47 Engine

This Product Information is intended to provide students with information on the design and operation of the N47 engine. As preparation for the technical training course, this Product Information provides an insight into the new N47 4-cylinder diesel engine. In conjunction with the practical exercises carried out in the training course, the aim of the Product Information is to equip students with the skills to carry out servicing work on the N47 engine. Existing technical and practical knowledge of current BMW diesel engines will make it easier to understand the systems and their functions.


Overview

The N47 engine is a completely new development bestowed with a multitude of new applications as follows:

  • Chain drive and high-pressure pump on the force transmitting side (rear).
  • Balancing shafts integrated in the crankcase with needle bearings.
  • Common oil/vacuum pump in the oil sump.
  • Double-sided belt drive.
  • All auxiliary equipment on the left-hand side of the engine.
  • Rotational vibration damper with freewheel.
  • Exhaust gas recirculation cooler with bypass (only upper power class with manual transmission).
  • Starter on the right-hand side of the engine.
  • New CP4.1 single-piston high-pressure pump with 1,800 bar maximum pressure (lower power class: 1,600 bar).
  • Majority of oil ducts cast using a new casting method.
  • DDE7 engine management.
  • Active crankshaft sensor with reverse rotation detection.
  • Ceramic glow plugs.

Modifications by comparison with the predecessor

  • Aluminum crankcase with thermally-joined, grey cast-iron cylinder bushes.
  • PIEZO injectors (upper power class only).
  • More compact roller cam followers.
  • Two-piece cylinder head.
  • Reinforcement shell for the crankcase.
  • Pressure-controlled electric fuel pump.
  • Fuel filter heating controlled by the DDE.
  • Crankshaft main bearing caps with indent fit.
  • Electronic oil level measurement with QLT.
  • Oil separation in the cylinder head cover with cyclone filters.
  • Composite camshafts built in accordance with the Presta method.
  • Electric swirl flaps (upper power class only).
  • Exhaust turbocharger with electrically variable turbine geometry (VNT).
  • Oxi-cat and DPF in a common, engine-side housing.
