Orianne is a collaborative project aiming to develop a tool for powertrain and drivetrain management functions prototyping, which will allow development and validation of new control algorithms, and easy carry over in series production control units.
A demonstrator ECU is currently in development, to prove the advantages of this product: ORIANNE ECU will be installed eand calibrated on an engine and associated vehicle.
Aboard Engineering has launched and is managing the overall project, and takes care of the control algorithms development, and of the system integration and demonstrator software tuning.
ORIANNE, collaborative project labelled by Mov’eo and Aerospace Valley regional poles, Project ORIANNE, collaborative project labelled by the poles of competitiveness Mov'eo and Aerospace Valley, is part of the general environmental problems of reduction in gases with greenhouse effect, which requires an optimized reduction of consumption by carburizing motor vehicles. That implies to develop new technologies of Powertrain units (gasoline, Diesel, electric and hybrid engines), which will give place to technological ruptures. Consequently, the automobile engines are controlled by increasingly complex embarked systems.
Within this framework, the need for new tools of design emerges, in particular for prototyping and to test new engine parts and new strategies of control and supervision. Currently, the solutions of prototyping available in industry are very heavy to lead projects of R& D at the speed required by the market evolution.
In this context, the purpose of project ORIANNE is to develop a tool for powertrain and drivetrain management functions prototyping, making it possible to conceive and test new strategies of control, then to show the relevance of it on an engine and a vehicle. This new tool will integrate an “automatic calibration” function, which will allow the motor engineer to model quickly and efficiently innovative functions which, thanks to AUTOSAR environment, could be then carried towards series software, without the need of important development and integration efforts.
