Thesis Worker

Thesis Worker at Volvo Cars


Welcome to explore the world of Volvo Cars by writing your thesis with us! As a thesis worker in our organization you are supported by a supervisor who follows you during your project. All thesis projects are arranged in business critical areas and therefore you will be able to contribute to our company purpose – providing freedom to move in a safe, sustainable and personal way – from day one! 

 

Let's introduce ourselves

Volvo Cars is on an ambitious journey to re-define the experience related to car usage and ownership. Combining technologies and innovative services, we are committed to offer the most personal, safe and sustainable solutions in mobility.
‘We provide you freedom to move in the most desired way and protect what is important for you through leading AD/ADAS functionality’. This is the purpose for our teams and our department in Safe Vehicle Automation. It motivates us and creates a feeling that we become stronger in this journey when working together taking us all the way to Zero Collisions

We can see that Autonomous driving (AD) has the potential to fundamentally change how cars are used and thus have a strong impact on society. We like to think that you are also attracted by this and want to be part of the exciting challenges. We are looking for thesis student

What you'll do

Comfort is one of the main drivers of autonomous driving (AD), and it is a key factor influencing the acceptance of autonomous vehicles. Therefore, it is essential to understand how to design the control software of autonomous vehicles to enhance ride comfort. Many comfort detection methods already exist in the market; however, extensive research is still needed to develop comprehensive comfort assessment and enhancement methods to ensure a comfortable and pleasant journey in autonomous driving.

This study aims to develop a smart tablet interface (GUI) to collect real-world data and develop mathematical models in MATLAB/Simulink for comfort assessment experiments. The developed tool needs to be able to log live GPS information including the vehicle information (speed, acceleration etc.) and allow test subjects to interact with the device during the experiments to rate their comfort levels.

Thesis student(s) will have the opportunity to participate actively in real-world experimental test drives to analyse their developed device/tools for comfort assessment. Student(s) will develop multidimensional mathematical models and methods, considering acceleration levels, using MATLAB/Simulink for comfort analysis. These models will be evaluated through computer simulations along with data collected from vehicle test drives. This device/tools and testing will contribute to the development of enhanced comfort for autonomous driving.

What you'll bring

What profile are you looking for, any certain program of studies, key competencies…do the student need to be on site to do the job or can the work be done remotely?
