Area 6: Electrics and Electronics - E/E
Divisional Director: Dr. Daniel Watzenig (komm.)

The number of different functions and hence, the degree of complexity of automotive control systems increases continuously. Today's luxury class cars exhibit approximately 2000 different top-level functions performed by more than 70 electronic control units. Especially in the automotive industry, economic pressure and safety critical aspects have led to a shift towards function integration and open architectures based on networks of embedded systems in order to provide opportunities for building cost-efficient and flexible design solutions. As a consequence, electrical/electronic (E/E) development has become a key discipline enabling OEMs to address the required demands.
The research topics of the Area Electrics/Electronics and Vehicle Software include functional engineering, in-vehicle network design and optimization for safety-critical systems such as FlexRay, design and simulation of Li-ion cells and cell packages for hybrids, system integration, automatic code generation, and the development of advanced co-simulation frameworks for mechatronic co-simulation and multi-objective optimization.
