hela Sverige Industrial PhD student position "Verification of Autonomous Vehicles"
This position is part of the Highly Automated Driving development team within Research & Development at Volvo Cars. The team is dedicated to bringing self-driving cars to the market, starting with the Swedish project "Drive Me", which is intended to shift the current driving paradigm and take advantage of automation to promote sustainable mobility. Creating new solutions will require new thinking. The work environment is agile, challenging and dynamic. Volvo Car Corporation aims for leadership within Highly Automated Driving. Entering the field of self-driving vehicles is the next giant leap in Volvo Car Corporation's development of the world's safest cars.
The position is an Industrial PhD student position. The first task is to conduct research relevant for the self-driving car development, and to reach a PhD degree. Then, a suitable position within Volvo cars will be arranged. The intention is to develop technical specialists, secure competence supply by networking with the academy, to develop national and international networks within strategic areas and create carriers of strategic competence. The position is located in the "Innovation group" which runs research- and advanced engineering development projects in the area of Active Safety and Highly Automated driving.
In order to verify that the accident risk of a self-driving car is sufficiently low, new verification methods are needed. Safe driving has to be expressed in measurable quantities that can be applied to both human and automated driving. Methods that verify whether these requirements are met for the final product needs to be developed. A major challenge is that traffic accidents occur with a low frequency, which means that lots of testing data has to be collected to draw a statistically valid conclusion. For a self-driving vehicle, the amount of real-world verification data would be larger than practically feasible. Therefore, new, more efficient verification methods will have to be developed in order to bring self-driving car technology to the market.
To get inspired follow this link:
http://bit.ly/1cQR32JThe main research questions are:
• How can safe autonomous driving be expressed in measurable terms?
• How to create an accelerated testing method in which real-world log data is used for creating new driving scenarios?
• How can the validity of the accelerated testing method be quantified?
Candidate methods are:
• Simulation
• Formal verification
• Re-simulation of log data
• Mileage multiplication/Data Augmentation
As an industrial Ph. D. candidate, the work location will be split between the Chalmers University in Gothenburg and Volvo Cars in Gothenburg. During the first year, most of the time will be spent at the University for the Compulsory Courses. Later, the candidate will spend more time on location at Volvo Cars working practically with the research questions.
Required qualifications are excellent performance with top level grades throughout B.Sc. and M.Sc. studies, with a profile that fits the research topics. Meritorious is experience in the area of active safety, driver support and verification method development. You are fluent in English both written and spoken.
