A stable eRod as a dissertation
Mariagrazia Tristano set herself the goal of developing an electronic stability programme (ESP) for the eRod using individual wheel torques for her doctoral thesis. Her work has now been published on the renowned IEEE Explore platform.
Mariagrazia is doing her doctorate at Sheffield Hallam University in England. She came into contact with KYBURZ via Siemens PLM. KYBURZ supported her with a loan controller and she also found a competent supervisor in Erik Wilhelm. "It looks complicated, but it's actually very efficient!" says the head of KYBURZ research, "she managed to create a control unit that allows the eRod to pass the famous "moose test".
The programme works with a high level of processor efficiency and ultimately serves the safety of the vehicle occupants. It remains to be seen whether the development will be used in the eRod or other KYBURZ vehicles in the near future.
