Name:

Electrical and electronic systems in automobiles 1
Automotive Electrical Systems 1

Type of course:

Lecture+exercise

Content:

• Development process:

  Motivation, history, EE share in the vehicle, boundary conditions, modules and systems, automotive product development process, project management and organization

• Vehicle electrics:

  On-board electrical systems: components, cables, contacts, plugs, fuses, value chain

  Energy: energy requirements, energy generation

  Architecture: multi-voltage wiring systems, configuration, converters, topologies, energy management

  Energy storage: basics, lead batteries, NiMH, LiON, DSK, battery management, energy storage on-board electrical system, energy storage traction: comparison, boundary conditions, mechanical design, charging and grid connection

• EE components:

  Requirements; Sensors: history and status, measurement principles and applications, implementation; Consumers: lighting, actuators, electric vehicle drives, heating elements; Software: control units, requirements, architecture, variance, methods and tools

• Bus systems:

  Introduction; Architecture: software, network topologies, network participants; Protocols: requirements and applications, bus access, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Most, spatial arrangement, transmission media, EMC, transmission rate and signal level, physical layer

• Diagnostics:

  Diagnostics and data security, Diagnostics and bus systems, Fault memory, Communication, Technical implementation

Further information:

The course is essentially held as a lecture and supplemented by demonstrations on vehicles.

The lecture "Electrical and Electronic Systems in the Automobile 2" in the summer semester continues the material and deepens the topics of vehicle electrics in the area of communication technology (bus systems) and the function and properties of networked systems in the vehicle (e.g. Global Chassis Control). Participation in both parts is recommended, but it is possible to take an examination only for part 1 (winter semester) (equivalent to 4 semester hours).

If interested, an excursion to a manufacturer of automotive systems will be organized.

Target group:

• 1st and 2nd level students from the 5th semester onwards

Scope:

• 2 SWS lecture, 2 SWS exercise, 6 CP

Dates:

• The lecture takes place in the winter semester

Documents:

• Will be announced in the lecture

Proof of performance:

• Written exam

Lecturer:

• Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mohamed Ayeb
