Presentation Details

Reliability of Autonomous Vehicles

By Dr. Jay Zhou, recognized as a distinguished SAE Fellow and Mentor, as well as an ASQ Fellow. 

Part #1: Reliability of Autonomous Vehicles
This part of the presentation offers an overview of Reliability Design and Analysis for Autonomous Vehicles, focusing on a framework designed to prevent failure modes in the development of autonomous vehicle reliability. The following topics will be explored in the lecture:

•    Fatalities of Different Transport Modes
•    Motor Vehicle Fatalities (drunk driving, distraction and speeding)
•    SAE J3016 Levels of Driving Automation
•    Disengagements of Autonomous Tests
•    Crashes of ADAS-Equipped Vehicles
•    Crashes of ADS-Equipped Vehicles Tested on Public Roads
•    AI/Machine Learning in AV
•    Sensor Robustness (Camera, Radar, Lidar)
•    Redundancy for Reliability. Failure Mode Avoidance

Part #2: Reliability of Electrical Vehicles 
This part of the presentation introduces Reliability Design and Analysis for Electric Vehicles, covering strategies for avoiding failure modes in hardware, software, and human errors. Since there are many reliability issues that are not vehicle type specific, we’ll have time for an overview of both types of cars. Of course there are going to be autonomous electric vehicles as well. The discussion will encompass the following topics:
•    Current EV Reliability (Recall, Reliability Ranking, Initial Quality)
•    Battery Cell, Module and Pack
•    Major Battery Loadings. Major Battery Failure Modes
•    EV System Engineering Models. EV Robust Models
•    Battery Module Design for Reliability
•    Computer Simulation for Reliability
•    Charging Station Reliability
•    Reliability (Mechanical, Electronics, Software)
