Estimation of Load-Time Curves Using Recurrent Neural Networks Based On Can Bus Signals

Abstract

"Precise knowledge of the load history of safety-relevant structures is a central aspect within the fatigue strength design of modern vehicles. Since the experimental measurement of load variables is complex and therefore associated with high costs, vehicles require estimation of these variables in order to design even more customer-orientedly in the future and thus consistently pursue sustainable lightweight construction. Hence the data measured by sensors in today's standard production vehicles is based on vehicle bus system signals which can be permanently retrieved. Due to the increasing availability of large quantities of recorded vehicle data, machine learning methods are moving into the focus of application. In this work, the implementation of Recurrent Neural Networks for the estimation of loadtime curves is investigated. ..."
