Number: MER0003MDR The department is responsible for the development and integration of suspension damper and suspension spring systems. In addition to the classic elements of spiral springs and conventional dampers, these include active systems such as AIRMATIC and MAGIC BODY CONTROL and their control.

Within the scope of this master thesis, a system for detecting vehicle touches with objects is to be developed. The aim is to precisely detect and analyze these contacts by existing sensors in the vehicle or by widening the sensor circumference. Approaches are to be followed by classical signal analysis, but also by the use of neural networks. Tasks: Literature research: Investigation of existing methods for detecting vehicle touches with objects and analysis of the sensors and algorithms used Sensor integration: Identification and integration of suitable sensors in the vehicle to capture relevant data Algorithm development: Development and implementation of an algorithm for detecting vehicle touches. This can be done by classical signal analysis or by the use of neural networks Test and validation: performing tests in the vehicle to validate the developed system. Analysis of the test results and optimization of the algorithm Documentation: Detailed documentation of work steps, results and findings

The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us.
