10:35-11:15  |  

Tudor Nicosevici - Head of ADAS Advanced Engineering Romania

Tudor Nicosevici is the head of ADAS Advanced Engineering Romania, Continental Automotive. Additionally, he is involved with the technical coordination of AI and environment modeling activities within the Advanced Engineering group. His areas of expertise are computer vision, robotics and machine learning, with a M.Sc. in sensor fusion and a PhD in robotics and computer vision. Prior to joining Continental he coordinated activities of technology transfer between the academia and the industry sector.

The topic: Continental’s vision of AI-enabled future mobility       
 

We live in a complex and dynamic world, where efficient mobility has become one of today’s main challenges.

Continental has taken on the challenge, and is currently developing a series technologies that address most significant mobility topics.

In order to ensure safety, scalability and flexibility, one key aspect of these technologies is the use of Artificial Intelligence, which will be the main focus of this presentation.

Nikola Zahariev – Senior Manager CTO Office Advanced Development

Nikola is Senior Manager in the Visteon CTO Office in Sofia, Bulgaria where he focuses on advanced development, such as new E/E architectures and ADAS. He holds a Diploma degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in Electrical Engineering and has several years of experience working in production programs for cockpit electronics. Prior to joining Visteon Nikola has been involved in multiple European and German publicly funded projects and FOTs.

The topic: Evolution of the vehicle architectures in the age of AI and ADAS


The increased penetration of AI and ADAS in the vehicles nowadays creates additional requirements, which can no longer be fulfilled by the existing traditional vehicle architectures. In this talk, we will show how we are capable to solve this upcoming requirements with a new zonal EE architecture based on Automotive Ethernet. We discuss the current trends and demands of the automotive industry driven by AI and Autonomous driving pointing to future zonal EE architectures. This goes further and allows for an even more radical change in automotive EE architecture, resulting in a significant reduction of wiring harness length, weight, cost and complexity.

Ali Baghchehsara - Group CEO and Managing Director of LISA Deutschland GmbH

Ali Baghchehsara is a young and well-rounded engineer, known for his creativity, and engineering solutions he has provided in automotive, aerospace, renewable energy branches. So far he has founded Solar Maximum llc®, LISA Group, for in Renewable, Computer Sciences, and Aerospace industries. Meanwhile, not only business and technology was in his focus, but education and sports had kept him interested. Ali has directed an aerospace talk show in the Iranian Radio Broadcast center with more than 5 million viewers and has been playing for Weserstars ice hockey team and won a Silver medal of ab-ali alpine Skiing competition. He has designed the first Autonomous System for Distress Tracking for Airbus commercial aircraft. In 2013 he influenced Space Industry with a new concept for operating satellites with Danny Jones which won the ISDC 14 award. In his time in the DLR (German Aerospace Agency) he has brought the Predictive Maintenance to operational using cognitive Systems. He has recieved the Top Achievement Award from the Royal Aeronautical Society in London in 2014, a similiar award which Elon Musk recieved in 2011. He has also brought the first students to the Electric Power Committee in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and for that recieved the Outstanding Service Award title in Montreal in 2015. In 2013 he co-authored the Electric Space with Mr. Jones and published it in North Charleston, SC about their common project which later on which later on with Danny Jones (CEO), Thomas Taylor (P) founded Solar Maximum LLC® to further Research and develop Concentrated Solar Energy system designs to generate power from Space, this book is the second book in SBSP and referenced in several institutions including Stanford University Libraries. Presently he is leading projects in order connect the aircraft to the ground and increase the integrity of Vehicle Monitoring Systems for Single Pilot Operation of commercial flights.

The topic: Future of Aircraft Operation based on Deep learning and Secure connectivity
 

In order to be able to operate large and small Jets, artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems will be helpful but this is challenging for the industry. AI and autonomous decision making will also allow aircraft operation to send over the necessary data for maintenance and connectivity purposes.

In this talk, an industrial leader on AI for aircraft ops will discuss in an interactive session the future of AI and how it will transform the way aircraft are operated today, and increase data sharing efficiency to downstream customers, including imaging and communications.

Cristian Vesa - Domain Group Leader at HELLA Technical Center Timisoara, Automated Driving division

Cristian Vesa is a graduate of the Timisoara Polytechnic University, Faculty of Electronics and Telecomunications and at the beggining of his career he was involved for a period of five years in research projects at the Hamburg University of Technology, at the Telecomunications and High Frequencies Department, and his mentor was Professor PhD. Hermann Rohling.

The topic: MIMO Radar Theory in a 77GHz System   

The MIMO Radar Theory in a 77GHz System is one of the most common radar technologies, used for necessary solutions for the Automated Diving projects. The MIMO radar theory is not present anymore just in the telecomunications field, but also for solutions in the automotive industry, solutions that are represented by the detection and classification of objects that are on a road. The team coordinated by Cristian Vesa, at HELLA Romania, develops concepts and solutions based on the implementation and integration of algorithms that will offer very good resu
