  1. A Central Theme: Systems Integration Vehicle Infrastructure Energy Infrastructure Transportation Infrastructure Information Infrastructure Human-Machine Interface Human Operator

  2. Advanced Powertrains – Vision at CU-ICAR Pursue research in four strategic areas: • Advanced engine concepts • Powertrain integration, flexible drivelines • Hybrid propulsion • Electrification and connectivity 16

  3. Vehicle Electronics – Vision at CU-ICAR Pursue research in three strategic areas: • Vehicle electronic systems integration • Electromagnetic compatibility • Electromagnetic modeling 20

  4. Vehicle Performance – Vision at CU-ICAR Pursue research in four strategic areas: • Vehicle dynamics • Advanced driver assistance systems • Human factors and HMI • HIL and on-road testing 26

  5. Vehicle-to-Vehicle Connectivity andVehicle-Infrastructure Vision at CU-ICAR Pursue research in three strategic areas: • Power Connectivity • Communication Connectivity • Human-machine Interface 31

  6. Manufacturing and Materials – Integrated product approach Pursue research in four strategic areas: • Holistic view of new manufacturing systemswhich can incorporate disruptive technologies • Continuous process improvement • Sustainable manufacturing • Advanced materials characterization, processing, and manufacturing

  7. 7-Poster with Climate Chamber Full Vehicle CMM 500hp Engine Test Cell 4-Wheel Chassis Dyno/Anechoic Chamber

  8. Advanced Machining Centers Full Vehicle EMC Chamber

  9. NEW Interior Component Testing Lab

  10. 2011/2012 Research Partners include:

  11. Lessons Learned to Date - Generalized • Some challenges associated with typical demographic model: manufacturing operations in the Southeast and R&D either in Midwest or Europe/Asia • Market surveys have revealed that Tier 1 and 2 suppliers have need for greater materials/root cause testing and services • Emphasis from motorsports companies tends to be on short-term data acquisition type of activities and not longer-term “traditional” research relationships • Strong focus on workforce development needs – collaboration with technical college systems essential • Potential benefits for all could be realized through a more regional approach to R&D
