Predictive diagnostic of Modular Autonomous Electric Vehicles

Kontext

Following trends of electrification and automation of vehicles, the field of diagnostics rises concerns. Electrical vehicle powertrains do not produce CO2 emission, therefore the standard On-Board diagnostic systems are not obligatory for these vehicles. Regardless, there is a demand for diagnostic system in order to increase durability and reliability of an electric vehicle. During the development of the prototypical fully automated vehicle U-Shift, the absence of human driver raised critical future issues in autonomous vehicle diagnostics (i.e. driver can react to unknown in vehicle vibrations, smell, etc.). Implementing predictive diagnostics on critical autonomous electric vehicle systems like Battery, Battery Management System, electromotor drives, etc. can address these problems and therefore shape the future of autonomous electric vehicle diagnostics.
