AEL - Automotive Electronics Laboratory

The Automotive Electronics Laboratory combines the fundamentals of measurement and electrical engineering with vehicle-specific diagnostics, as well as future-oriented telemetry platforms with up-to-date data bus connection and software-supported implementation.

Laboratory equipment

The technical equipment includes among others:

  • Measurement technology (oscilloscopes, multimeters)
  • Data logger
  • Diagnosis
  • Learning walls (Leybold)
  • Workplaces
  • CAN & Vector licenses
  • PC cabinet
  • Software (Labview / Matlab / Simulink / CANoe / Canalyzer / Candela Studio)

Research

  • LabCar for the development of telematic functions and Car to X-based business models
  • Simulation of vehicle systems
  • Lighting and assistance systems
  • BUS structures in the automobile (CAN, LIN, Flexray)
  • Vehicle electrical system structures and electromobility

Services

  • Implementation of technology-based business valuation
  • Portfolio evaluation and development
  • Development Scouting
  • Lighting and assistance systems
  • Advice within the framework of the research competencies

Projects

The AEL - Automotive Electronic Lab covers the basics of electrical engineering and gives students an insight into the world of electrical currents and voltage.

Practical experiments and independent tests are carried out to demonstrate the best possible application of the lecture content learned.

The main research area is the development of an interactive LabCar with cloud connection and an open telemetry platform. The students can experience the future intermedial world in the vehicle and actively participate in shaping it. In addition to the integration of BUS systems, such as CAN, the interaction of individual control units also plays an important role.

Vehicle diagnostics can also be learned through the model and then be put into practice.

In the future, a lighting technology laboratory will be set up in order to demonstrate the further development of the assistance systems and their theoretical structure.
