Development of a High Performance Body Control Solution for Commercial Vehicles in Emerging Market

2011-10-06
2011-28-0025
Automotive Infotronics Private Limited (AIPL is a Joint Venture between Ashok Leyland, India and Continental AG, Germany) has been working on a body control solution for the commercial vehicle segment over the last few years. The units developed meet the stringent IP66 ingress protection requirement (dust and water) for Indian market applications. Due to the “closed” nature of the enclosure, thermal design for the device is done in such a way so that heat can be dissipated through the metallic enclosure. The electronic design is modular so that a variety of applications can be handled with the same basic design. Finally, a big step is taken in the creation of the application software that is fully model-based and “auto-coded” [6]. With the adoption of model-based design, this unit makes itself completely flexible where a host of customer specific (and/or customer owned) strategies can be seamlessly integrated with the basic application software.

Motorcycles are becoming increasingly popular in the Indian two wheeler market. Tough competition in the segment has resulted in, the manufacturers coming up with various features to attract more customers towards their product. Usage of Multi Focal Reflectors (MFR) for headlamp and light signalling devices is one of such attractive quality features in the products. It is possible to have attractive shapes and light patterns from signalling devices with MFR. These patterns attract the prospective customers at first sight itself. The effectiveness of the reflected light from such devices is presently evaluated subjectively which is leading to longer lead-time for development. This present study establishes a methodology to evaluate objectively, the effectiveness of the reflected light from a signalling device. This is to verify whether the design intended pattern is achieved on the actual component.
