Measurement campaign in the Piaci KFI project of Bosch and BME

in ,

During the realization of the Piaci KFI project by Bosch and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), a measurement campaign was organised at ZalaZONE Automotive Proving Ground.

The purpose of the measurements was to examine how the object detection performance of the camera was affected by the different mount positions behind the windscreen, especially the effect of windscreen distortions. During this measurement campaign, an enormous amount of data was captured. For that, a reference data measurement system, – which was developed and deployed during the Piaci KFI project – was used during the campaign. In the first step, test measurements were conducted for the verification of the reference measurement system. These tests involved the recording of additional data from the high-precision GNSS systems, deployed into the test vehicles of Bosch and BME. After the verification measurements, different standardised NCAP scenarios were realised and measured. The evaluation of the captured data is still in progress, with the help of a new evaluation software which was also implemented during the project.

Nomination for the office of the year competition

in

The measurement preparation and evaluation space of the Innovative Vehicle Technologies Competence Center was nominated in the “Commercial space” category in the office of the year competition, together with the Bosch Innovation Center. The application highlights the original, valuable and pleasant environment that was created, and that it strives for the unity of practical aspects, innovation and sustainability.

KJK experts, Máté Zöldy and Márton Virt made a statement on Totalcar about the fuels of the future

in

Is there life beyond electricity? The intensive electrification of transport is a solution for some areas of mobility, but the current technology will not be able to fully replace petroleum-based energy sources – The collegues of the Innovative Vehicle Technologies research group discussed about the developement of new generation fuels on Totalcar.

Visited Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Prof. Eric Sax: “KIT – and especially ITIV (Institut für Technik der Informationsverarbeitung) – has a long-standing friendly relationship with BME. That’s why we are happy to talk to Professor Zsolt Szalay and his team about current topics, including innovation opportunities in the automotive industry.”

 

Will we also be able to refuel with banana peels and bottles, like Doc in the final scene of Back to the Future?

in

According to Dr. Zöldy Máté BME senior scientific associate, really clean energy is what we don’t use. We talked to him and Krisztián Kun, head of the Vehicle Technology Research Group at János Neumann University, about the future of driving. For example, a third of the car’s value is the battery, which has a shorter lifespan than the car. Therefore, more are needed throughout the entire life cycle. Maybe electric cars are not the future yet? Many questions were answered in the conversation.

Representatives of the Korea Automotive Technology Institute visited KJK

in

In light of the possibility of a future cooperation, the Department of Automotive Technology of the BME was delighted to welcome high-ranking representatives of the “Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH)” and the “Ministry of Trade Industry and Energy” in December. During the meeting, the topics in which both sides see perspective and innovative opportunities for cooperation were outlined, especially with regard to the problems arising in connection with highly automated vehicle systems. The negotiations continue, we await the developments with great interest.

IVT at the Future Transport event!

in

It was an honour for the Innovative Vehicle Technologies Research Group to be invited to the Future Transport event, which took place in the framework of the Neumann Year at the Neumann University. The leader of the research group, Dr. Máté Zöldy, took part in a round table discussion with Dr. Barna Hanula and Virág Mészáros, among others, in front of an audience of more than 200 people. The future of transport will be electric, but not exclusively electric, concluded the panelists.

Our PhD students participated in the SAMI conference

in

In February 2023, our young doctoral colleagues participated in the 21ST world Symposium on Applies Machine Intelligence and Informatics, where they successfully presented papers on machine vision.

Károly Fodor compared two “State of the Art” visual SLAM algorithms on a low cost sensor system and presented his own data set for this.

Márton Cserni developed a new method: he presented a fast and efficient image segmentation algorithm by fusing neural networks and classical image processing.

We develop our competencies related to metal 3D printing in new collaborations

in

For years, the laser and additive technology research group has been developing its competencies in the field of metal 3D printing, for which we have a good opportunity to participate in projects with domestic partners that are related to specific applications. In a domestic tender launched a few months ago, research is being carried out on the topic of printing precision metal parts, building on previous results in cooperation with domestic universities, research institutes and corporate partners.

Research in additively manufactured maraging steel and titanium alloys

in

During the last year, the Materials Science and Manufacturing Technology Research Group has carried out significant research into the mechanical and structural properties of additively manufactured maraging steels and Ti6Al4V alloys. Our research was supported by market KFI and TKP grants. We examined the effects of different heat treatment profiles on the mechanical properties of […]
