Machine Learning Driven Simulation in the Automotive Industry

Ram Seshadri, Aravind January 2022 (has links)
The current thesis investigates data-driven simulation decision-making with field-quality consumer data. This is accomplished by outlining the benefits and uses of combining machine learning and simulation in the literature and by locating barriers to the use of machine learning (ML) in the simulation subsystems at a case study organization. Additionally, an implementation is carried out to demonstrate how Scania departments can use this technology to analyze their current data and produce results that support the exploration of the simulation space and the identification of potential design issues so that preventative measures can be taken during concept development. The thesis' findings provide an overview of the literature on the relationship between machine learning and simulation technologies, as well as limitations of using machine learning in simulation systems at large scale manufacturing organizations. Support vector machines, logistic regression, and Random Forest classifiers are used to demonstrate one possible use of machine learning in simulation.

Suspension System Optimization of a Tracked Vehicle : A particle swarm optimization based on multibody simulations

Nilsson, Joel January 2024 (has links)
Tracked vehicles are designed to operate in various terrains, ranging from soft mud to hard tarmac. This wide range of terrains presents significant challenges for the suspension system, as its components must be suitable for all types of terrain. The selection of these components is crucial for minimizing acceleration levels within the vehicle, ensuring that personnel can comfortably endure extended durations inside. BAE Systems Hägglunds AB develops and produces an armored tracked vehicle called the CV90. Within the CV90’s suspension system, a key component known as the torsion bar, a rotational spring, plays a primary role in reducing the vehicle’s motion. The CV90 vehicle has seven wheels on each side, with each wheel having its dedicated torsion bar. To measure the whole-body vibration experienced within the vehicle, a measurement called the Vibrational Dose Value (VDV) is utilized. The main objective of this thesis is to develop a data-driven model to optimize the suspension system by identifying the combination of torsion bars that generates the smallest VDV. The data used for optimization is based on simulations of the CV90 vehicle in a virtual environment. In the simulation, the CV90 vehicle, with its full dynamics, is driven over a specific virtual road at a particular velocity. The simulation itself cannot be manipulated; only the input values can be adjusted. Thus, we consider the simulation as a black box, which led us to implement the black-box optimization algorithm known as Particle-Swarm. In this thesis, four different roads, each with velocities ranging from four to seven different levels, were provided to the optimization model. The results show that the model identifies a combination of torsion bars that generates a small VDV for all combinations of velocities and roads, with an average VDV improvement of around 20% - 60% compared to a reference case. Since this thesis serves as a proof of concept, the conclusion is that the devised method is effective and suitable for addressing the problem at hand. Nonetheless, for seamless integration of this method into the tracked vehicle development process, further research is necessary.
