From sensors to driving functions – develop your own car
The competence field Model-based Systems Engineering organizes together with the Chair of Software & Systems Engineering of the TU Munich the bachelor and master internship "Introduction to Model-based System Engineering - Develop Your Own Car".
Once a year (usually in winter semester), teams of four to five students work together in the fortiss Mobility Lab on various driving functions and scenarios. These are used to teach model-based engineering of cyber-physical systems in theory and practice. One example is platooning, an autonomous driving function that allows cars or trucks to drive behind each other at a very close distance to save fuel consumption.
In the internship, the participants work with the fortissimo Rovers (miniature vehicles equipped with sensors) and a simulation environment developed at fortiss to solve changing problems in the field of driver assistance functions and autonomous driving. They use the model-based systems engineering tool AutoFOCUS 3 developed at fortiss and other open-source tools to analyze and develop functions such as the following:
The participants will learn about the current status and the various phases of systems engineering from the requirements to the validated and executable system by means of a continuous practical example. In addition, current research topics in the field of competence will be addressed.
