 Big Data @ AVL

Confidential | | 21 September 2015 | 8

 WHAT IS BIG DATA? • Measuring whole population
THE “4 V’S” •
instead of sample
Number of tests and units
Volume under tests
(Scale of • Number of sensors
• Handling incomplete data (e.g. sensor
Data) • Data acquisition rate
failure, connection loss, …)
• Sensor precision and sample
• Multiple known and unknown boundary
rates
conditions, metadata incomplete (e.g.
connecting measurements with climate
data because env. Conditions not
measured.)
• Need for real time data
processing
Veracity Velocity • Processing actual and historical
(Uncertainty (Streaming data (prediction, seasonal
of Data) and speed) effects, …)
• Scaling analytics and storage
with data
• Handling limitations in size of data
(e.g.: When is driving data
representative for a market?) • Different acquisition systems (missing standards on
• Plausibility checks and data context data formats)
essential for quality of statement • Combining virtual (simulation) and real (measurement)
Variety
data (e.g. digital twin)
(Forms of • Complicated data formats (compression, variable
Data) sample rates)
• Structured (e.g. measurement) and unstructured (e.g.
log) data

 HOW TO APPROACH “BIG DATA”

AVL wants you!

Big Data

How to bring subject matter How to make statistics and

experts into the world of data science part of daily

 Use Cases for Big Data in Automotive

Confidential | | 21 September 2015 | 11

BIG DATA IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Targets
 Improving development efficiency by shortening feedback loop
from production and field-operation
 Improve model and information – and thus product –
consistency over different phases, finally reducing development
and production costs, and improving product quality
 Reduction of TCO by correct design decision in early phases
Confidential
Approach
 Applying unified modelling approaches to utilize models
from concept decisions up to hardware integration
(Model.CONNECT™)
 Performance attributes: Definition and handling of
performance attributes based on design and simulation data
(e.g. geometry parameters in relation to power density, …)
 Data driven calibration: Deriving models out of
measurement data and reuse them for development process
 DoE in simulation: Execute variation in design or calibration
in virtual development and derive trained models to execute
optimization
 Handling the variety of different data sources in a
company via abstract access layer (Data.CONNECT™)

BIG DATA IN PRODUCTION
Targets
 Improving production efficiency by better integration of
development phase and shortening feedback loop from
field-operation
 Reduction of production wastage due to variance or non-
conformity
 Reduction of root-cause analysis and problem resolution
duration leading to reduced product time-to-market
Confidential
Approach
 Using data from product in field to control production
parameters (e.g. optimize pairing of parts to lower friction)
 Using end of line test data to predict product performance
or reliability in field
 Leverage the big amount of data from production line to
optimize product characteristics (e.g. NVH)
 Build a data driven bridge between the production and
development process – identify the influence of
development decisions on production cost or quality
(e.g. what is the influence of tolerance class on cost of
component)
 Building the data backbone for “Industry 4.0” oriented
production line

BIG DATA IN THE FIELD

Targets
 Improving monitoring and fulfillment of end-users and
legal requirements
 Improving development efficiency by shortening
feedback loop to development and production
Approach
 Connection data from the vehicle with testing (AVL Load
Matrix™) by better understanding of the usage behavior
of customers
 Predictive maintenance of products in fleet up to
influencing replacement part logistics
 Provide usage information from the field to various
stakeholders for development (detection of challenging
usage behavior)
 Optimize route planning of fleet durability testing based
on usage experience
 Handling the high amount of vehicle data coming from
modern controls systems (esp. ADAS)
 Data driven reliability engineering by connecting the
incident reports from workshops with usage data
 Active driver influence based on status information of
vehicle (guide the driver to run on highway to run active
regeneration, send him to workshop, …)

BIG DATA FOR CONTROLS AND ADAS

Targets Approach
 Providing innovative (IoT) platforms enabling the  Critical scenario detection for controls (diagnostic,
digitalization of the physical environment as basis for data- calibration) and for new applications (e.g., ADAS) to
driven customer value generation enhance controllers, define test environments, aso.
 IoT enabled big data as key enabling technology to  Development of new control features based on driving
bridge smart transportation with smart health, smart data: driver coaching, route prediction, adaptive hybrid and
production, finally providing added value for the customer controls, …
 Develop and test algorithms for reducing fuel
