Zusammenfassung der Dissertation

Die Dissertation entwickelt einen systematischen Ansatz, um Fahrzeug-E/E-Architekturen durch cloudbasierte, regelnde Softwarefunktionen zu erweitern und bewertet hierfür sowohl die Eignung verschiedener Fahrzeugfunktionen als auch passende Deploymentmodelle. Als besonders geeignet erweist sich die HLK-Regelung, für die ein cloudbasierter MPC umgesetzt und in zwei Varianten – Nur Cloud und Fallback – praktisch validiert wird. Die Ergebnisse zeigen bis zu 11 % Energieeinsparung und zuverlässigen Komfort, wobei das Fallback-Modell eine höhere Robustheit gegenüber Verbindungsabbrüchen aufweist. Insgesamt belegt die Arbeit die technische Realisierbarkeit und Vorteile des Control-over-the-Air-Ansatzes sowie dessen Potenzial für Effizienz, Wartbarkeit und Skalierbarkeit.

Wir freuen uns sehr über diese starke wissenschaftliche Leistung und wünschen Martin alles Gute für seinen weiteren beruflichen Weg!
