30 Credits - Timing requirements for software stack for autonomous vehicles i Sodertalje

Scania is a world-leading provider of transport solutions. Together with our partners and customers we are driving the shift towards a sustainable transport system. In 2017, we delivered 82 500 trucks, 8 300 buses as well as 8 500 industrial and marine engines to our customers. Net sales totalled nearly SEK 120 billion, of which about 20 percent were services-related. Founded in 1891, Scania now operates in more than 100 countries and employs some 49 000 people. Research and development are concentrated in Sweden, with branches in Brazil and India. Production takes place in Europe, Latin America and Asia, with regional production centres in Africa, Asia and Eurasia. Scania is part of Traton Group. For more information visit www.scania.com.

Om tjänsten

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

Thesis project at Scania is an excellent way of making contacts for your future working life. Many of our current employees started their career with a thesis project.

Background
Autonomous Transport Solutions (ATS) Pre-Development & Research is responsible for developing, testing and piloting future frontier ATS concepts. This work is done using agile and self-steered teams with the ambition to detect and evaluate upcoming technologies, and prepare these for industrialization. We work in close cooperation with Volkswagen group, leading technology suppliers and academic institutions.

One of the groups within the department, ECPF has the strategic and operational responsibility for the pre-development of next generation Sensor Fusion, Maps and Localization solutions for the ATS environment.

In this role, you will have the unique opportunity to be part of setting the future of Scania’s innovative Autonomous Transport Solutions. You will be part of a highly competent multicultural team instrumental in developing cutting-edge autonomous technologies where your ideas will be encouraged and embraced.

Project description
Autonomous vehicles have a straightforward requirement: drive without a human driver. Substituting a human in a moving vehicle is proven to be an extremely challenging task. Human is performing many complex tasks and doing it in parallel. Autonomous vehicles logically try to mimic these processes, and so are being equipped with advanced sensing, actuation and computing hardware and complex automation software.

The software stack of such autonomous vehicles has an architecture with complex control and data flow between parallel executing modules at various frequencies. Each layer and modules of the software stack have specific timing requirements that are also dependent on speed of the vehicle, type of the environment and type of the road hazards.

The challenge is how to determine and quantify the timing requirements for the software stack of the autonomous vehicle in various environments at various speeds. This will contribute to understanding of how to guarantee a reaction time of the vehicle, e.g. time it will take to stop once an obstacle on the road is detected.

Aim of the project
The aim is to determine the timing requirements of the software stack for autonomous vehicles; to derive dependencies between reaction time and 1) distance to the obstacle, 2) speed of the vehicle, 3) loss in communication channels, 4) failure of individual modules, 5) range of the sensors, 6) frequency of execution of various modules, 7) various environments (urban, public and industrial).

Time: 20 weeks

Start date: Feb/March 2019

Credits: 30 HP (ECTS)

Qualification
Master Student in computer science, computer systems or embedded systems. Knowledge of real-time systems, verification and timing analysis of the embedded systems.
