Common use of ID4EV Clause in Contracts

ID4EV. The purpose of the ID4EV (intelligent dynamics for electrical vehicles) project, which is co-funded by the European Commission, is to develop vehicle components and systems that satisfy the distinct requirements of fully electric vehicles. Both central electric drivetrains and wheel hub drivetrains with their unique driving comfort challenges fall within the scope of the project. Continental Engineering Services is leading the consortium; the other partners are fka, Renault, ZF Friedrichshafen, Chalmers University of Technology, Applus IDIADA,TNO and ICOOR. The consortium has set high goals focusing on driving safety, comfort and energy efficiency. The objective is to offer the drivers of future fully electric vehicles products with the highest levels of safety, comfort and usability, leading to greater customer acceptance and, thus, quick and widespread market penetration. Within the WP5 of the ID4EV project – intelligent networking – the goal is to identify and control the driving modes of an electric vehicle. This includes the already existing system modes of a vehicle, as well as to be defined driving profiles for an electric vehicle and a power and energy management. This includes the ability to act in critical range situations by finding charging spots along the road, or switching off consumer systems or putting them in a more energy efficient mode. A HMI concept to support these concepts also is in the scope of the WP5. A special focus on the ID4EV models lies on dynamic models as the interaction with the driver, the mode management and other algorithms contributing to the energy mode management as the range calculation and navigation services. The modeling of ID4EV-WP5 was done in SysML. Modelica will be used for simulation and virtual integration purposes. Due to the close connection between EAST-ADL and SysML, especially structural elements of SysML can be mapped on EAST-ADL. Any missing expressiveness in EAST-ADL will be evaluated for assessing the language (see chapter 3). The advantages of relating an EAST-ADL and SysML model are: • Deepening and extending of the SysML/EAST-ADL mapping (especially for dynamic elements). • Deepening and extending of the SysML/EAST-ADL mapping (especially for dynamic elements). • Modelica simulations can be made available to EAST-ADL models. • Constraint checking and thus verification and validation can be based on dynamic model. • This also opens the perspective to verify timing constraints (TADL) of EAST-ADL on base of dynamic models and simulations. • Also the perspective of fault injection and FMEAs on base of model simulations is given this way. • Feature models for electrical vehicles can be defined. • Safety and Timing models can be added to the SysML model this way. • The variability concepts of EAST-ADL and SysML/Modelica can be aligned.
