Industrial PhD position: Employment at Volvo Cars, signed in as PhD student at Chalmers, System and Control division at EE.
We are now looking for an Industrial PhD Student that will develop the functional architecture and methods to handle real-world vehicle safety problems due to spatial variation of road friction.
As an Industrial PhD student, you are a member in the Volvo Industry PhD Program (VIPP). You are connected to the Mechatronics research group at Electrical Engineering department Chalmers, with a long history of performing research at control algorithm design used in the active safety and autonomous driving areas. The VIPP typically lasts for 4-5 years, including PhD courses and 10% teaching activity at the university.
The success of autonomous drive (AD) and next generation advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) largely depends on advanced perception sensors for observing the drivable road conditions, to enable accurate decision making and optimal control of braking, acceleration, and steering functionalities. One primary component of drivable environment conditions is the road surface condition that varies largely with inclement weather, ground surface texture-based irregularities, road debris and road administration. Climate and accident data collected in Sweden and worldwide have shown that more than 20% of all accidents occurred due to slippery road conditions.
