# Master Thesis - Advanced controlling algorithm for low speed situations in cars (f/m/d)
## YOUR TEAM
Our Team “Driver Demand” (Vehicle Motion) is excited to offer a Master Thesis opportunity focused on the development of an advanced controlling algorithm for various low speed driving situations in our newest Software Defined Vehicle (SDV). Our current solution has achieved the highest standards on the car market regarding drivability, sportiness and comfort in various driving situations. The goal of this project is to improve it even further by using advanced controlling algorithms. You will have the chance to gain hands-on experience in model-based development and production C code as well software and vehicle testing.
Research question: How can an advanced controlling algorithm improve vehicle drivability, sportiness and comfort in various low speed driving situations?
## WHAT YOU WILL DO
* Conduct extensive literature research on controlling algorithms used for low speed applications in passenger vehicles
* Model-based development of an advanced controlling algorithm in MATLAB Simulink
* Testing of the controller in various low speed situations in a Software-In-The-Loop (SIL) environment
* Verification of the controller design in a test vehicle on proofing grounds
* Comparison of the newly developed controller with the current solution
* Present the results and framework in a scientific paper
## WHO YOU ARE
* Enrolled student in the field of Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable degree program
* Broad knowledge of control algorithms and control theory (e.g., through specialization with advanced lectures, courses, projects, etc.)
* Knowledge of vehicle dynamics
* Familiarity with model-based development (MATLAB Simulink)
* Basic knowledge of the C programming language
* Experience in model-based software development is an advantage
* Team-oriented, growth-driven, goal-oriented, and communicative
## NICE TO KNOW
* Remote work options within Germany
* Duration: 6 months (with the option to extend up to two years)
* 35-hour week
