By the strict discussions regarding energy saving and the goal to reduce CO2, there is a keen demand for light designed automotive structures and the development of electric vehicles. To achieve these goals, a comprehensive method for urban vehicle concepts with electric powertrain and their necessary vehicle structures is presented. The dimensions and packaging of the presented vehicle is based on demands of a future urban vehicle with space for four occupants including baggage, steerable front system wheels and a rear axle including an electric powertrain. In the geometric design phase of the method the vehicle design space is analyzed for global load path with the help of topology optimization (OptiStruct). The load paths are then clustered into different shapes. Concepts for new body in white structures are derived from the results.

The Team H2politO: vehicles for low consumption competitions using HyperWorks Altair
The Team H2politO is a group of students of the Politecnico di Torino. The student’s background and profiles are very diverse, everyone comes from a different discipline of engineering and together they compose a complete Team. The disciplines range from Automotive and Mechanical to Electronics, Aerospace, Energy, Mathematics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Management, Cinema and Media and Industrial Design. The Team mission is to shape a new generation of engineers, leaders in their fields, who represent the educational excellence in regard of each of their competencies.
The results of Team passion and hard work are three low-energy consumption vehicles completely designed and made by the Team: IDRA - hydrogen powered prototype; XAM – bioethanol powered parallel hybrid urban concept; XAM 2.0 –EREV city vehicle.
The main goal is to take part and win in Shell Eco-marathon, a competition that every year involves more than one hundreds of students teams arriving from all over Europe. Especially we would like to spread the Shell Eco-marathon values through ours, combining the sustainable development with a vehicle that uses the least possible amount of energy.
H2politO is a different, innovative and somehow unique project, is not just a Team but something more: it is a new type of conceiving educational, professional and personal growth. Team members aim at being perceived as an experimental laboratory where competences, capabilities and potentialities of future’s engineers are fostered. Students strive to become not only solid and advanced technical experts but, equally important, down-to-earth managers having excellent communication, leadership and teamwork skills.
Practical and hands-on experiences are doubtlessly a complementary and enriching form of educational path where it is very important the use of simulation software like HyperWorks. Team members have a real opportunity to lead their educational path by building and crafting their own thesis. Final papers are indeed part of a cluster of thesis which combines all the technological and organizational areas of development H2politO has envisioned and embraced.
The Team believes in hard work as the basis of future success. Students crave for continuously improving and strive for exceeding expectations by nurturing the team spirit in order to create those synergies able to add value to individual performances and capabilities. As a consequence, passion and team-spirit are really the foundation of H2politO values.

Hydrogène : promesses et défis dans l'industrie automobile | LIEGE CREATIVE, ...LIEGE CREATIVE
Comme de nombreux secteurs, l’industrie automobile est confrontée à une transformation radicale sous l’action de la pression des défis que la société doit relever pour la prochaine décennie.
C’est dans ce contexte de changements, que l’Université de Liège a réalisé le livre blanc « FUTURE MOVE » au sein du projet Pôle Automobile Européen (PAE).
Outre la crise sanitaire, l’électrification, l’essor de la mobilité douce, l’automatisation de la conduite et la digitalisation, la décarbonisation du secteur automobile s’impose comme une des lignes de force à l’horizon 2030-2035. Ces transformations posent de nombreux défis techniques, juridiques ou sociologiques pour lesquels des solutions restent à trouver.
En particulier, le livre blanc a identifié le développement des véhicules à hydrogène comme un des axes importants de la relance et de la décarbonisation des transports dans la Grande Région. Les constructeurs voient dans l’hydrogène un axe prometteur pour les véhicules lourds et les véhicules utilitaires. L’émergence de cette nouvelle motorisation va de paire avec la mise sur pied de la filière de production d’hydrogène vert et avec l’installation d’un réseau de distribution.
Comment cette technologie sera-t-elle intégrée par l’industrie automobile européenne ? Quelles sont les opportunités pour les PME et la recherche universitaire ? Quels seront les nouveaux acteurs de demain dans cette nouvelle filière ? Comment relever le challenge de la formation du personnel ?

Ryan J. Urbanowicz, Nicholas A. Sinnott-Armstrong, Jason H. Moore. "Random Artificial Incorporation of Noise in a Learning Classifier System Environment", IWLCS, 2011
Car Setup Optimization Competition @ EvoStar 2010Daniele Loiacono
The contest involved three tracks. The optimization algorithm had to find the best car setup for each one of the tracks. The contest was divided into an optimization phase and an evaluation phase.
During the optimization phase, the optimization algorithm was applied to search for the best parameter setting. During the evaluation phase, the best solution was scored according to the distance covered in a fixed amount of game time.
A parameter setting is represented by a vector of real numbers. The competition software provides an API to evaluate a specific parameter setting on a track and returns the best lap time, the top speed, the distance raced, and the damage suffered. Through the API, it is possible to specify the amount of game ticks to use for evaluating a car setup. The game tics spent for an evaluation are subtracted from the total amount of game tics available. When the 1 millions of game ticks are exhausted or the evaluation process has taken up more than 2 hours of CPU time, no further evaluation will be possible.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

q Modular architecture:
" Driving module:
• The speed is computed using the maximum braking distance
" Overtaking module
" Recovery module
" ABS module
q Track learning during the warm-up:
" First lap, driven slow, to identify turns (start, end, entry
position, curvature) and learn the track model
" Other laps, speed adaptation:
• Increasing according to lateral speed
• Reducing when the car goes off-road

q Based on Artificial Potential Field
q Every sensor in the span (-40, +40) has a charge
q The charge is determined by how far the sensor measures
the track
q Coulomb’s law is used to calculate potentials in the field
Pot = (C1 * C2 ) / d2
q The sensor with the highest potential is used for computing
how much steering is needed

q Hybrid fuzzy controller with a module to learn the model
track as the car drives, a module to perform some simple
plannings based on the modelled segments of the track and
a fuzzy controller which actually drives the car.
q All the modelling, planning and driving are done during the
race, the warm-up stage is not exploited
q No opponent handling

q Turns classification based on sensors
during warmup and saved in the track
model
q Different evolved strategies to go
through the turns
q Strategies are re-evaluated during
stages, adjusted and save in the track
model
q Simple opponent avoidance based on
keeping safe distance

q Fuzzy Architecture based on three basic modules for gear,
steering and speed control
" optimized with a genetic algorithm
q Learning in the warm-up stage:
" Maintain a vector with as many real values as tracklength
in meters.
" Vector initialized to 1.0
" If the vehicle goes out of the track or suffers damage
then multiply vector positions from 250 meters before the
current position by 0.95.
q During the race the vector is multiplied by F to make the
driver more cautious in function of the damage:
" F=1-0.02*round(damage/1000)

30. Scoring process: Warm-up & Qualifying
q Scoring process involves three tracks:
" Cold Peak
" City Track
" Desert Storm
q The tracks are not distributed with TORCS:
" Generated through interactive evolutionary computation
" The competitors cannot know the tracks
q Each controller raced for 100000 game ticks in the warm-up
stage and then its performance is computed in the qualifying
stage as the distance covered within 10000 game ticks

Three Tracks
For each track we run 8 races
with random starting grids
Each race is scored using the F1 point system
(10 to first, 8 to second, 6 to third, …)
Two points to the controller with lesser damage
Two points for the fastest lap of the race
