Bachelor Internships in Vehicle Dynamics and Automotive Control

The CAR-Lab, Laboratory of Research in Control and Automotive, https://dei.unibo.it/it/ricerca/gruppi-di-ricerca/car-lab, offers bachelor internships in mathematical modelling, simulation, control, and validation of road-vehicle systems.

Available topics include:

systems integration: design and implementation of point-to-point and bus communications;
signal conditioning algorithms;
vehicle-dynamics (comprehensive of suspensions, steering, and wheels) modelling;
tyre and propulsion models;
ADAS such as active suspensions, adaptive cruise control, wheel controls (ABS, TC, Launch Control), ESP;
state estimation and system identification;
driver modelling and steering-wheel force feedback;
environment creation and communication with vehicle dynamics;

Students will work on a clearly defined technical problem and contribute hardware configuration, software components, mathematical models, test procedures, and control algorithms to the integrated CAR-Lab SIL-HIL-DIL platform.

A typical internship includes mathematical formulation, MATLAB/Simulink implementation, HIL-DIL simulation experiments, quantitative validation, and technical documentation.

[ITA] Tesi e Tirocinio in Sistemi di Trasmissione per Trattrici Agricole

1. Sviluppo di modelli Simulink compatibili con centraline embedded
Lo studente sarà coinvolto nella modellazione di componenti della trasmissione (come frizioni, ingranaggi, differenziali) utilizzando Simulink, con l’obiettivo di creare modelli compatibili con le centraline elettroniche di bordo. A differenza dei modelli tradizionali per simulazioni su PC o sistemi HIL, questi modelli dovranno essere ottimizzati per l’esecuzione su hardware embedded, con risorse computazionali limitate. L’attività richiede competenze in modellazione dinamica, simulazione real-time e ottimizzazione del codice per microcontrollori.

2. Studio parametrico e adattamento automatico del software di controllo
Il progetto prevede l’analisi della relazione tra i parametri del software di controllo della trasmissione e le caratteristiche fisiche dei componenti meccanici. Lo studente svilupperà script in MATLAB per automatizzare il processo di adattamento del software in caso di modifiche al layout meccanico (es. variazione dei rapporti di trasmissione, sostituzione del motore, aggiornamento dei componenti). L’obiettivo è creare un tool di calibrazione automatica che riduca i tempi di sviluppo e test.

[ENG] Thesis and Internship in Agricultural Tractor Transmission Systems

1. Development of Simulink models compatible with embedded control units
The student will be involved in modeling transmission components (such as clutches, gears, differentials) using Simulink, with the goal of creating models compatible with onboard electronic control units. Unlike traditional models designed for PC simulations or HIL systems, these models must be optimized for execution on embedded hardware with limited computational resources. This activity requires skills in dynamic modeling, real-time simulation, and code optimization for microcontrollers.

2. Parametric study and automatic adaptation of transmission control software
This project focuses on analyzing the relationship between transmission control software parameters and the physical characteristics of mechanical components. The student will develop MATLAB scripts to automate the adaptation of the control software in response to changes in the mechanical layout (e.g., gear ratio changes, engine replacement, component updates). The goal is to create an automatic calibration tool that reduces development and testing time.
