Thesis Project: 30 HP - Radar secondary surface verification and optimization

Our section, Main systems, is responsible for Scania's integrated chassis control system with completely self-developed functions and software. We work agile in cross-functional teams with co-located competence with great influence on our way of working and content. Thesis work is an excellent way expanding the contact network with Scania and build a great relationship for the future. Many of the workers at Scania started their Scania career with thesis work at Scania.  

We are now looking for two thesis workers at sensors and fusion group. The group is responsible for developing radar and camera sensors, sensor fusion. The group is composed of people with different backgrounds and specializations in function development, programming and testing, where everyone has a strong commitment to the team to deliver good business value in an efficient way. We have several interesting challenges ahead to ensure that Scania continues to be part of the solution for the sustainable transport system of the future.

Background

Snow blockage is a common problem for Advanced Driver Assistance systems (ADAS) sensors in blizzard weather condition, malfunctioning the ADAS functionalities such as advanced emergency braking. This is a typical scenario for vehicles equipped with short and long distance radars where the secondary surface is blocked by the snow. In this project we are interested to study how we can eliminate this problem by generating prototyped solutions to eliminate the snow blockage. This requires simulation and experimental studies to validate and verify the prototypes robustness.   

Goal
The goal of the thesis is to provide us the preliminary prototypes to eliminate/reduce the snow blockage. To validate and verify the chosen prototype the project shall aiming at performing radar beam pattern simulation and radar chamber verification. This means that one student is more focusing on the simulation studies and the other student on the experimental verification. If time permits, the students shall aiming for real life testing as well.   

Mission statement

For being successful in this project, students shall provide a project planning, pre studies, find out suitable simulation and testing methods for radars functionalities. The project is communicated through final presentation at Scania together with final academic report.

Your profile

We are looking two students with background in Engineering Mechanics or Engineering Physics, preferably computational mechanics. We also see that you are responsible, have good collaboration skills and have an interest in working with agile methods. Good knowledge of both Swedish and English is a requirement. It is meritorious to have good understanding of radar design how they are operated.
