ARTEMIS POLLUX Application Areas.

The new electrical vehicle architectures based on distributed embedded computing and electronics system will allow significant energy saving, with enhanced fun-to-drive while increasing safety, and comfort, and decreasing the overall complexity of the vehicle.

• Energy sources: power electronic modules and control algorithms that perform functions such as power management (battery, super capacitors, etc.), and recharging (grid, range extender, on-board photovoltaics, etc.).
• Propulsion: electronics modules and control algorithms performing functions such as electrical motor control and distributed traction (1, 2, 4 motors).
• Chassis (Drive dynamic): electronics modules and control algorithms that perform functions such as steering, traction control, ABS, ESP, active suspensions, etc.
• Power and Signal Distribution (PASD): on board high voltage (power train) and low voltage (auxiliaries) bus, storage recharge bus, with related high voltage management features for safety and reliability.
• Vehicle Body and On-board Control: addressing chassis/body design for optimisation against conflicting requirements such as cost and strength, or performance and energy efficiency..

Realisation of energy efficient and cost-effective electrical vehicle with enhanced safety and comfort calls for dedicated development of distributed and embedded hardware and software systems for the automotive industry.
