At Research & Development you will be a key contributor to the next generation outstanding luxury cars from Volvo. Together with other engineers around the world, you and your team will create innovative human-centric car technology that makes life less complicated and more enjoyable for people. Are you interested in design and connected car technology? Do you share our passion for people, the environment and our urge to create a superior driving experience? Research and Development is the place for you to prosper.
As Industrial PhD Candidate within the department Suspension & Steering Electronics you will be a part of our post-graduate program. The intention is to develop technical specialists, secure competence supply by networking with academies, contribute to Volvo products by close connection between research, advanced engineering and car projects contribute to Volvos reputation as high-tech & research oriented company by facilitating recruitment of highly educated personnel. The target is to develop national and international networks within strategic areas, reinforce a scientific approach within product development, initiate research projects connected to future technology and create carriers of strategic competence. The Suspension & Steering Electronics section is responsible for the development of suspension and steering electronics and control software. The functions are developed using model-in-the-loop (MIL) simulation tools, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test rigs, driving simulators and physical test vehicles.
The aim of the research project is to further utilize the Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) by developing a virtual steering control (VSC) using a steering feel model reference. Your focus will be on how to represent steering feel with a virtual model and how this model can/should be used in the EPAS control. This includes developing an architecture to handle steering feel and autonomous functions, creating a model of steering feel and to derive objective steering performance metrics. You will be able to conduct experiments in a validated simulation environment, steering test rigs, driving simulator and a test vehicle equipped with a steering torque interface and a rapid-prototyping software environment.
