We describe a mathematical model for the industrial heating and cooling processes of a steel workpiece representing the steering rack of an automobile. The goal of steel heat treating is to provide a hardened surface on critical parts of the workpiece while keeping the rest soft and ductile in order to reduce fatigue. The high…

In this paper the front-end power solution for automotive ADAS electronic systems is analyzed. The increased complexity of electronic systems in ADAS automotive brings new challenges for hardware design, especially with regard to improving the efficiency of the switched-mode power supply while maintaining the overall cost reasonably low and keeping the occupied area on the…

Service-oriented architecture has attracted attention in automotive development. The Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) specifies Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP (SOME/IP) as a key middleware for service-oriented communication in-vehicles. However, SOME/IP-based networks are vulnerable to server spoofing during the service discovery phase, enabling attackers to cause man-in-the-middle attacks by impersonating legitimate services. This paper proposes…

Establishing an environment that allows for the quantitative evaluation of the ability of autonomous driving systems to respond to real-world adverse conditions is crucial to ensuring their safety and reliability. This study proposes a dynamic scenario-based simulation framework that simulates complex and sequential hazardous scenarios frequently encountered in actual road environments. The proposed scenarios are…

This paper addresses the stock management aspect. Through this work, we provide a dynamic model of dimensioning and allocation of stocks to storage location for the automotive industry field. This model takes into consideration all constraints of the supply chain (24 constraints) from the suppliers passing by production, storage up to customer delivery and transport.…

The paper treats a problem for detection and recognition objects in computer vision sector, where researchers recommended OpenCV software and development tool, it’s several and better-remembered library resource for isolating, detecting, and recognition of particular objects, what we would find an appropriate system for detecting and recognition traffic roads signs. The robustness with optimization is…

According to IEC 61805 and ISO 26262 standards requirement inclusion of LBIST (Logic Built in Self-Test) became mandatory to achieve safety critical application such as automotive field. In such systems, once device is switched ON LBIST (Logic Built in Self-Test) is activated and testing of digital logic is performed. After safety subsystem says that the…

Power converters in automotive industries are needed to source electronic devices.
