EMISYS

Purpose and goal

EMISYS aimed to contribute to improved development methods for vehicle embedded software and to enable new technologies for vehicle-borne software for control and regulation. This aim has been largely achieved, and is represented by new technologies for modeling and simulation, as well as improvement and expanded knowledge of the eFMI standard for simulation of mechatronics and mechanics in wagons, for example model-predicted regulation.

Expected results and effects

* A modeling, configuration and simulation framework (M&C&S) supporting composition of FMUs/eFMUs and efficient simulation of integrated large-scale vehicle subsystems. * Enhancement of the Volvo Trucks Eclipse-based software, based on the AUTOSAR and EAST-ADL architecture modeling representation, integrated with the above-mentioned M&C&S framework. * Evaluation for Volvo Trucks needs of the new eFMI open standard, (FMI for Embedded Systems, developed in the EMPHYSIS project).

Planned approach and implementation

The project was structured in 6 different work packages, with a balanced distribution among project partners. The implementation was planned for a 2-year duration to ensure current and applicable results. Due to covid-19 and subsequent resource problems, the project was extended, but there were continued challenges in securing resources, especially at Volvo Lastvagnar. Important results could still be delivered, even if deviations from the planned schedule and work volume made the project collaboration difficult.
