hela Sverige 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.
The section Strategy and Concept within the department Powertrain Controls and Calibration, PCC, is responsible for developing concepts and system solutions for propulsion systems including hybrid systems in Volvo Car Group vehicles. The section consists of about 25 individuals working with systems engineering, concept development, advanced engineering projects and CAE simulations.
When developing control strategies the trend is towards model based solutions, both to reduce the calibration burden and to deal with the increasing complexity in a modern powertrain. Decisions need to take place in the vehicle as it runs, and differ a lot on the conditions. The best way to control the combination of engine, gear box, exhaust after-treatment systems and electric machines depend both on the car state and the driving mission. Modern cars are increasingly equipped with sensors estimating the surrounding world, such as navigation systems, radar, camera and even cloud connections. This information increases the possibility of predicting the context and driving demand along the driving mission.
The Main Object of the PhD project is to develop methods for computation of advanced model based control strategies including information about the future, such as model predictive control. The focus of the strategies should be that they are implementable in production type hardware and timing requirements. The applications for such methodology are several, such as optimal control for hybrid powertrains, engine and exhaust after-treatment systems, but also velocity planning for autonomously driven cars. The main focus for this project is on propulsive systems but the aim is that the developed methods and knowledge about which problems can be solved should be distributed within Volvo Cars
