Zeekr Technology Europe

Thesis - Vehicle Design Optimization Using AI/ML Methods

Gothenburg

October 18, 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:
Optimizing vehicle design requires balancing energy efficiency, performance, and handling. Traditional methods, involving extensive simulations, are slow and impractical for large design spaces. Surrogate modeling, using machine learning, offers a faster solution by learning complex input-output relationships from existing simulation data. Once trained, these models can predict system responses across the design space, reducing the need for exhaustive simulations. With adaptive learning, the models improve as new data becomes available, speeding up the optimization process.
Scope:

Utilize Design of Experiments (Do E) and generate training data from existing system simulation framework.
Identify suitable ML model(s) and develop it to accurately predict system responses, incorporating online learning to refine predictions with new data.

Solve the optimization problem (e.g. minimizing energy consumption) using the trained ML model and compare the process and results to traditional optimization methods.

Key focus areas: Energy efficiency, Digitalization and AI
To understand more about the project, see the following research paper: Bhattacharjee, Debraj, et al. "Data-driven surrogate assisted evolutionary optimization of hybrid powertrain for improved fuel economy and performance." Energy 183 (2019): 235-248.
Your skills and background

Currently pursuing a master's degree in Automotive Engineering, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Data Science or a related field.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python or MATLAB, with experience in ML libraries like Tensor Flow, Keras, or scikit-learn.
Understanding of fundamental ML concepts, algorithms, and techniques, especially in regression and neural networks.
Familiarity with vehicle system simulations and tools used in automotive design is a plus.
Knowledge of optimization algorithms and experience with evolutionary strategies is a plus.
