IAS/IGSSE project Diesel Reloaded Efficiency and simplicity through innovative technology Kick-Off 07.06.2011

Foreword Prof. Dr. Wolfgang A. Herrmann President of the Technische Universität München

The National Electromobility Initiative (Nationale Plattform Elektromobilität – NPE) in Germany calls electromobility a key element for the transformation of the climate-friendly transport and mobility. In its second report NPE emphasizes that electromobilty should be considered as an opportunity as well as a challenge for further enhancing Germany’s position as a leading location for industry, science and technology. The Technische Universität München identified these significant trends in the core area of energy several years ago and supported the transition to sustainable energy supply with innovation and technological progress. In order to concentrate our energy activities, we founded the Munich School of Engineering (MSE) in 2010. The MSE is a paradigm for interdisciplinary studies in engineering; its largest interdisciplinary research project is TUM Energy. Even though, the MSE focuses on three priorities: electromobility - renewable energy - energy efficiency. Up to 100 professors from ten departments are working on the technical challenges of energy research. The TUM Science Center for Electric Mobility coordinates and bundles all activities in the area of electromobility internally and externally. In addition to the development of small electric vehicles, which will be presented at the International Motor Show 2011, our university has established a field office in Singapore. This is where we gain valuable and specific experience around electromobility in megacities. Furthermore we founded with our Chinese partner, the Tsinghua University, a research institute for “Advanced Power Sources for Electric Vehicles” and hence also we maintain scientific exchange and cooperation in the Asian region. Especially our TUM Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) provides the best possible environment for top-level research and networking worldwide. The essential TUM IAS concept is to allow selected guest researchers and our best faculty members to conduct top-level research while offering young scientist the chance to develop their talents in the inspiring environment of outstanding senior scientists. The Project Diesel Reloaded is a prime example for this interdisciplinary research platform. Prof. Dr. Gernot Spiegelberg, a Rudolf Diesel-Industry Senior Fellow at the TUM Institute for Advanced Study, in cooperation with our Graduate School of Science & Engineering (IGSSE), has established the Project “Diesel Reloaded” for the development of a holistic approach in electromobility, with an emphasis on the goods transport. In close cooperation with Prof. Dr. Alois Knoll from the TUM Institute for Robotics and Embedded Systems, Prof. Dr. Markus Lienkamp from the TUM Institute for Automotive Engineering and Prof. Luigi Colani, a famous German industrial designer, the experimental vehicle was developed, the

Innotruck. This innovative and world´s largest electric truck expresses an optimal energy efficiency for the mobility. We are pleased, that we are able to present the TUM IAS/IGSSE Project Diesel Reloaded and to gain useful insights into the core area of electromobility through this kick-off kick event. Only by means of interdisciplinary research and cooperation cooperation we will be able to master challenging the demands energy management and climate change in the 21st century. On this note I wish you interesting talks, insightful discussion and I would like to express my gratitude to all participants.

Wolfgang A. Herrmann President

Currently, we are witnessing a worldwide surge in activities and investments in the field of electric personal vehicles. Global trends are shifting away from the traditional vehicle paradigm in favor of sustainable solutions, offering personal mobility while at the same time integrating into the energy grids of the future. The inherent instability of renewable energy sources must be addressed and dealt with accordingly, in order to achieve dependability and efficiency. The goal of our project is to implement a holistic approach to electromobility, taking into account the complex interconnections between the vehicle, the infrastructure and the user’s habits.

The Innotruck is the experimental vehicle of the Diesel Reloaded project, serving as an innovation platform for a wide range of future concepts and technologies. The project is guided by Prof. Dr. –Ing. Gernot Spiegelberg, a Rudolf-DieselIndustry Senior Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study of the Technische Universität München and the leader of the E-mobility initiative in SIEMENS Corporate Technology. Gernot Spiegelberg did his doctorate at the TU Karlsruhe, followed by a lectureship for “Intelligent Automotive Systems” at TU Budapest in 2004. For this, he was awarded the Honorary Professorship.

Prof. Alois Knoll

The strong tie to the university is based on the close cooperation with Prof. Knoll from the Institute for Robotics and Embedded Systems and Prof. Lienkamp from the Institute for Automotive Engineering, who are both principal investigators of the Diesel Reloaded project team.

Prof. Knoll is a member of the German Society for Computer, IEEE and the highly-esteemed ISTAG board, an advisory group which consults the European Commission on its overall strategy for Information and Communication Technologies research and development. His research interests include cognitive, medical and sensor-based robotics,

multi-agent systems, data fusion, adaptive systems and multimedia information retrieval.

Prof. Lienkamp has focuses his research on new vehicle concepts in the scope of the electromobility initiative and the integration of broad spectrum of research areas in the automotive field. The emphasis is placed on the development and regulation of the vehicle’s underbody, driver assistance systems, humanmachine interface, accident prevention and investigation as well as the processes supporting the whole development process. The vehicle’s design is based on the work of Prof. Luigi Colani, the famous German artist who began his wellknown work in the area of automotive design. Prof. Colani’s ideas strive to learn from the nature, resulting in profoundly bio-dynamic shapes, perfectly adapted to the environment.

Prof. Luigi Colani

The extremely streamlined design by Prof. Colani is complemented by forged wheels, low rolling resistance tyres and a flat vehicle base for a high level of fuel economy. The Innotruck has already been presented on this year’s Hannover Messe, Nutzfahrzeugmesse in Karlsruhe and Michelin Challenge Bibendum in Berlin.

In order to manage the complexity which arises in the design of such an intricate vehicle, the development was based on the SIEMENS PLM Teamcenter software.

We are implementing a completely new approach to designing electrical vehicles, encompassing a reduction in both development complexity and total cost of ownership. The project focuses on three main research areas led by three PhD

students from the Universität München: •

System archi Dipl.-Ing. Hauke Stähle

•

Energy management and train optimisation Dipl.-Ing. Claudia Buitkamp

•

Human-machine interface Ljubo Mercep, M. Comp. Sc.

The proposed centralized achieves optimal information flow between all functional units whilst reducing communication overhead. strict modularization is needed in order to localize bandwidth demanding communication channels. concepts for safety critical systems with off-the-shelf components data fusion are additional key points.

Energy management and distribution is interwoven with optimal driving strategy. The majority of the total vehicle energy is being produced and consumed in the drive train. Terrain profile is an important factor to consider when planning the drive strategy. Total energy flow is being managed, from the very beginning through harnessing solar and wind energy while recuperating with regenerative brakes. It is necessary to optimize the storage, transport and distribution of energy to the connected electrical vehicles and back into the power grid. The vehicle in itself represents a micro smart grid or, if you will, an example of the smart building concept.

An integrated human-machine interface is being implemented, which will be able to adjust to the environmental conditions, driver and vehicle state and personal driver profile. Only the essential information shall be conveyed to the driver, in the form of visual, audio or force feedback. The ever increasing functionality of the driver workspace must not result with the same rise in the amount of data sent to the driver. The driver behavior is being analyzed and modeled through time in order to provide valuable data to the predictive advanced driver assistance system.

Our short-term plans involve active participation in the Zero Emission Race in the role of the fleet support

vehicle, as well as on the IAA in Frankfurt am Main.
