AutoDrive

Advancing fail-aware, fail-safe and fail-operational electronic components,
systems and architectures for highly and fully automated driving to make
future mobility safer, more efficient, affordable and end-user acceptable

The AutoDrive project is a European lighthouse project funded by the Ecsel Period
Joint Undertaking. The European research project, with more than 60 interna- 01.06.2017 – 31.09.2020
tional partners from industry and research, is setting the stage for safer and
more efficient highly or fully automated driving through both technological ad- Project Director
vancements and standardization efforts. The AutoDrive project increases the Prof. Dr.-Ing. Niels Modler
current level of safety and reliability by significantly advancing the fail-safety of
vehicle technologies in the hardware and software domain. As a result, vehi- Contact Person
cle systems can continue to be used or transitioned to a safe operating state Dr.-Ing. Anja Winkler
even in the event of a failure. AutoDrive thus enables safer, more efficient and Martin Helwig
more affordable mobility and thus increases acceptance for the end user.

To this end, ILK researchers are developing an efficient and highly integrated • European Union
inductive charging system with 10 kW charging power for electric vehicles with (7th Research Framework Programme)
400 V or 800 V on-board voltage. The main focus of the research work is the • Federal Ministry of Education

of the project work achieves an average transmission efficiency of 90.2 % at
10 kW transmitted power and 92 % at the optimum. With a thickness of only
20 mm and a total weight of less than 6 kg, the on-board charging module Project Partner
thus offers good conditions for integration even in tight installation spaces. • Infineon Technologies AG
