Cover Story | ACOUSTICS | NVH

Developing Sports Performance Virtually: NVH Optimization with a Virtual Artificial Head

As developments take place in ever shorter times and with ever fewer physical prototypes, the acoustic properties of a vehicle under development are challenging to evaluate reliably. A realistic listening experience requires binaural artificial head recordings. HEAD acoustics and Porsche show how a virtual artificial head solves this problem.

Sensor System for Detection of Noise and Positioning Data L-category vehicles such as mopeds and motorcycles contribute disproportionately to traffic-induced noise pollution. Although there are legal regulations governing the maximum permissible noise emission, it is unclear to what extent these reflect real driving situations. The Institute of Automotive Engineering (ika) at RWTH Aachen University has developed an adaptive measurement system for recording noise emissions that is characterized by small dimensions and low cost. It is to be used for field tests with large Lcategory test vehicle fleets as part of the LENS research project.

Interview: “Reduce the increased risk arising from the use of electric vehicles to a normal level” Hans Werner Lange, President of the German Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (DBSV), and ATZ discusses what requirements and requests for improvement blind and visually impaired people have regarding the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)

DEVELOPMENT | Safety

Cell-to-Pack – Compact Battery Design and a Long Life Cycle

The cell-to-pack concept, in other words building the cells directly into the battery pack without modules, has become established as a promising technology in order to increase the energy density at the pack level. This new battery design for passenger cars influences processes along the battery life cycle positively and negatively. Bertrandt investigates the challenges and opportunities of this concept, which among other things ensures that up to 40 % of the components of a conventional battery pack can be saved.

BATTERY

Loss Improvements for Thin-type Inverters in Electric Passenger Cars

To increase the range and performance of electric vehicles, the power loss during the conversion from direct current to three-phase alternating current must be reduced. Hitachi and Hitachi Astemo have developed a thin-type design for inverters for this purpose, which reduces the loss and enables an easier integration into the e-axle thanks to its low height.

INTERIOR

Interior of the Future – Occupant
Requirements during Automated Driving

With the automation of the driving task, ergonomic criteria will become even more important in the interior. But what do customer reactions to new types of interiors look like, and which body shape is preferred? FEV and Kocaeli University (Turkey) have conducted a market analysis in 25 countries with 7510 people to find out. The majority could cover most of their trips with a two-seater vehicle and ranges of up to 300 km.

SIMULATION

Scalable and Data-based Diagnostic
Concept in the Vehicle

Passenger cars should drive safely and efficiently. Technical diagnostics must therefore be able to accurately map sensors, subsystems such as transmissions and the vehicle as a whole. IAV has developed a scalable, data-based diagnostic concept that can be used to identify and isolate faults. An example of this is the switching on of low reservoir pressure in a dual-clutch transmission.

RESEARCH | ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

Satisfaction with driver assistance systems from the customer’s perspective

A study addresses the following questions: What significance do driver assistance systems have for the future? What are core customer expectations and requirements? How are expectations and needs met? How high is the degree of utilization of driver assistant systems? What are the core strengths and weaknesses of the systems?

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Cell developments for the batteries of future electric vehicles

Whether power, energy density or costs – the properties of a traction battery are largely determind by the cell chemistry used. Due to the current geopolitical and economic situation, the aspects of prices and security of supply of raw materials have gained importance in the development of new cells. This makes concepts such as the lithium ferrophosphate or the sodium ion battery attractive, which did not seem suitable for vehicle applications a few years ago.

ATZ 125 Years

Comfort and Interior

The ATZ celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2023. To mark this anniversary, the ATZ editorial team is looking far back into automotive development (founded in 1898), whereby the old-fashioned does not seem old-fashioned at all today, but often new and promising for the future.
