Important results from the project
The proposed project will develop one or more electrical auxiliaries, e.g. steering servo, adapted hybrid drive lines. The project icludes conceptual studies on system level to find optimal modular structures with defined module functionalities and interfaces. Based on agreed upon principles for modularisation and standardisation of interfaces between components, the project should include one or more real product development projects i collaboration between the vehicle manufacurers and their suppliers. The total project contains three sub-tasks: (1) Conceptual developmet of the overall architecture for a set of subsystems, (2) Selection of the auxiliaries to be developed and requirements engineering on these, (3) Product development of the selected systems by the suppliers in close connection to university including prototyping and functional verification
