8. May 2019: Project demonstration video released
This video shows the connected simulation environment developed in the project. It displays the involved simulation components: traffic and communication simulation (Veins), ego-vehicle and environment simulation (ASM), optimized driving functions (Controllers), and the two engines of the hybrid drive train (ICE and EM testbench).
Details about the simulation environment can be found in the following overview (also available as a PDF with higher resolution).

22. May 2017: Project presentation on the 16th Wirtschaftstag by DENSO
DENSO, Mr. Yano, Head of European Technical Center and Aachen Engineering Center joined the so-called "Wirtschaftstag". The event, which was linked to the "Japan-Tag" in Duesseldorf had following title: "Innovation durch Kooperation - neue Erfolgsstrategien fur Unternehmen in der digitalisierten und globalisierten Wirtschaft".
About 200 persons attended this event. Mr. Yano presented DENSO's R&D activities in Europe, amongst others the HY-NETS project. During the panel discussion Mr. Yano got positive feedback on this activity, which was apparently appreciated by the audience.

8 November 2016: Presentation of a master's thesis.
During the project meeting, Max Tacke presented his master's thesis.
Integration of geodata into an environment simulation for the testing of predictive and automated driving functions (Einbindung von Geodaten in eine Umfeldsimulation zum Testen von prädiktiven und automatisierten Fahrfunktionen)
Concerning the rising complexity in the area of driver assistant systems, it is necessary to reproducibly test newly developed functions in a realistic car environment as early as possible. The construction of the geo-specific environment simulation, which is needed for this purpose, is a complex process, during which the integration of geo-data is mostly done by hand by the developers. Due to the complexity of the driver assistant systems, the needed test depth adds to the problem.
Therefore, as a first step, the software tools, which are needed for an automatized modelling of a simulation environment, were expanded within this Master’s Thesis and in cooperation with the company dSpace. Thereafter, a reference route was defined for relevant geo-specific features, such as road routing with an elevation profile and traffic lights. It was extracted from databases and integrated into the simulation configuration. In a next step, reference measurements for this route were recorded with a demonstrator vehicle. These vehicle and sensor data were integrated into the simulation to depict other road users. Finally, the process to generate the simulation environment was validated, and a predicative and automatized driving function was developed and examined to increase the energy efficiency of the Ego-vehicle. Thus, the execution of realistic tests enables an objective evaluation of predictive and automatized driving functions.
