Gothenburg

October 21, 2024

We are Zeekr Technology Europe. Powered by engineers and creative minds from all over the world. Located in Gothenburg, Sweden, one of the leading mobility innovation grounds worldwide. Established in 2013 as CEVT and began with the mission to create a revolutionary modular vehicle architecture, CMA. As of 2024, CEVT is now Zeekr Technology Europe, signaling our belonging within Zeekr. Delivering intelligent, sustainable, and user centric technology and software for tomorrow's electric mobility today.
Project Description:
The increasing demand for enhanced off-road vehicle navigation has sparked significant interest in developing sophisticated driver assistance systems. Accurate classification of off-road terrain, including its properties such as roughness and unevenness, is crucial for improving vehicle performance, safety, and navigation efficiency. By leveraging sensor data from various sources, including wheel speed, Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), acceleration, brake pedal data, suspension travel, and odometry, it is possible to develop robust models that can classify different types of off-road terrain and their characteristics.
Scope
The primary objective of this master thesis is to develop a method for classifying off-road terrain and its properties, such as roughness and unevenness, using a dataset of labeled off-road driving data. The dataset includes labels for various types of off-road terrain, including grass, gravel, and rock, along with sensor data from wheel speed, IMU, acceleration, brake pedal usage, suspension travel, and odometry.

Objectives

Data Preprocessing: Clean and prepare the dataset for training machine learning models.
Feature Extraction: Identify and extract key features from sensor data for accurate terrain classification, including terrain properties such as roughness and unevenness.
Model Development: Train machine learning models using the processed data to classify off-road terrain types and their characteristics.
Model Evaluation: Assess the models with standard metrics and validate their classification accuracy.
Edge Deployment: Investigate deploying the trained model on a microcontroller in the vehicle, considering computational limits and real-time processing needs, ensuring scalability across various vehicles.

Expected Outcomes

The expected outcomes of this thesis include the development of a robust and accurate terrain classification model that can identify off-road terrain properties such as roughness and unevenness, successful deployment of this model on edge devices within vehicles, and validation of the model's performance in real-world off-road environments. This work aims to enhance the capabilities of off-road vehicles, improving their performance, safety, and navigation efficiency
