01 /ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
From signals
to vehicle behaviour.
We focus on the relationship between driver input, propulsion control and real vehicle response. Explore the areas shaping our development work.
01Powertrain & vehicle control
Engine management, electronic throttle control, calibration and validation. A systems approach to understanding how electronic commands become vehicle motion.
Control strategy / Calibration / Validation02Vehicle safety concepts
Research into unintended acceleration intervention, pedal misapplication detection and driver override. Safety requirements and failure behaviour are considered alongside the core control concept.
Driver input / Intervention / Failure behaviour03Measurement & prototype development
Sensor integration, vehicle signal analysis and prototype control logic. Measurement work explores longitudinal acceleration, vehicle attitude and the effects of road gradient.
IMU / Vehicle signals / Data logging02 /CURRENT RESEARCH
In development
SUA (Sudden Unintended Acceleration)
Mitigation Controller
Our current research investigates how driver inputs and measured vehicle motion can support intervention against unintended acceleration.
The development programme examines detection logic, road-gradient compensation, signal plausibility and the behaviour of a vehicle during intervention.
Development priorities
- Understand the input
Study pedal signals alongside vehicle acceleration.
- Account for the road
Investigate attitude and gradient effects on motion measurements.
- Validate the response
Assess intervention, driver override and failure handling.
Research status
This technology is under development. It is not presented as a certified product or a proven prevention system. Validation and applicable approvals are required before any road-use release.
