two challenges available

  • Active Suspension HW or Logic

    Improve vehicle stability and comfort with active suspension systems. We are aiming to take our suspension development to the next level and are interested in innovative hardware or control logics for shock absorbers, anti-roll bars, and springs. We would like to explore electro-mechanical or hydraulic actuators and any solution that will enhance handling and ride quality, contributing to a superior driving experience.

    Purpose:

    Enhance vehicle stability, comfort, and handling under various driving conditions.

    Product target:

    Shock absorbers, antiroll bars, springs, other chassis components

    Technology carrier:

    Electro-mechanical actuators, hydraulic actuators, new control logic

    Requirements:

    • Enable load controls on each wheel independently.
    • System power has to overcome wheel loads in every driving condition
    • The limit in the frequency of the system has to be >25Hz
    • Ground clearance control has to be granted.
    • Enable special functions, eg. helicopter start, carving, easy access to the door opening, etc.
    • Enable energy recuperation using no brake related components is a plus
    • Track mode with wheel adjustment in camber angle

  • Torque Vectoring HW or Logic for advanced steering & brake support

    Enhance vehicle control with torque vectoring technology. In order to improve vehicle handling, we are seeking hardware or logic solutions for precise steering and optimized brake force distribution. Improve traction and stability in various driving conditions is an objective on which we would like to see your solution. We are looking to create safer and more dynamic vehicles together with you.

    Purpose:

    Enable precise steering control, optimized brake force distribution, and enhanced vehicle stability through torque vectoring technology under various driving conditions (e.g. increased traction at corner exit).

    Requirements:

    • Compatibility: seamlessly integrable into existing vehicle architectures
    • Increase the yaw rate of the vehicle by distributing torque between the different wheels during cornering.
    • Brake side-balancing by using navigation information to pre-adjust the balance automatically (switching brake side, i.e. at the entry of a corner), taking into consideration actual speed and future corner radius
    • Response Time: Torque adjustments every 10 ms
    • Configure Torque Vectoring through a knob-switch or from built-in menus:
      • Change vehicle character: Understeer, Neutral, Oversteer.
      • Adjust brake side-balancing aggressiveness
