News
Leveraging information provided by COTA such as bus routes and passenger demands, CAR is developing prediction tools that use basic measurements collected on buses during service to forecast the energy consumed and the available range of the battery pack.
NASA sought the expertise of Research Scientist CG Cantemir to develop a 10 Megawatt Ring Motor concept for their electric aircraft.
For the first time since COVID-19 hit in 2020, the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) has been able to welcome a new group of visiting scholars.

Camp CAR
Introducing the next generation to automotive engineering
As an introduction to crash safety, campers were challenged to roll an egg down a ramp into their hand-built crumple zones. The team that could successfully roll their egg from the highest point without it breaking won!
The campers took a test drive in the Driving Dynamics Lab’s Driving Simulator. In addition to a fun experience, students learned about the importance driving simulators play in building vehicles.
It’s not every day you get to walk through the world’s most advanced wind tunnel! Camp
CAR toured the new Honda Automotive Laboratories of Ohio (HALO) facility, located at the Transportation Research Center Inc. (TRC). The wind tunnel serves three separate state-of-the art testing functions — aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and racing.

Intelligent Driving App: Making Driving Green
September 2022
ARPA-E NEXTCAR
• Goal: Improve energy efficiency by leveraging data from connectivity systems (such as enhanced mapping and V2X) to develop look-ahead optimization of propulsion and vehicle control.
• Project Phase I: (2017 2020) demonstrated 20% fuel consumption reduction on a Level 1, 48V mild hybrid + DSF vehicle.
• Project Phase II: (2021-2024) ARPA-E selected 4 teams for more funding.
• Goals:
• 30% reduction in energy use (over Phase 1 base);
• Level 4 automation.
146
Intelligent Driving App: Making Driving Green
Can be though of as next-level Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Reduces fuel / energy consumption Improves driver experience
147
(-> But: the app can be applied to any level of vehicle automation)
Intelligent Driving App: What is it?
An embedded software application that:
Is installed in a computing device that is part of the car
Interfaces with vehicle subsystems
• Optimize propulsion energy efficiency by using look-ahead route data.
• Leverages ADAS system data on vehicles with any level of driving automation.
• Provides optimized target values for Propulsion and Vehicle controls.

Innovation
• Flagship program of NSF’s new Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) Directorate • Purpose is to grow sustainable regional innovation ecosystems that… Address major societal challenges Accelerate emerging tech in areas critical to national competitiveness Drive durable regional economic growth
The Engines Model – 3 Core Functions
Regional Innovation Engines Program
• Up to $160M, 10yr (Type 2) • Cooperative Agreement • Goal: • Drive durable regional economic growth, maintain US competitiveness in emerging tech areas • Functions: • R&D • Translation • Workforce Development Nascent Phase Emergent Phase Growth Phase
An Innovation Ecosystem is NOT a Center
Engines v Centers (e.g., ERC)
Engines ERCs, etc. Only one per region; whole region involved Partners are best in class, not just regional Tech translation possibly more important than R&D R&D is the main purpose, other functions second Bigger Smaller Higher leverage of federal dollars over award life in partner contributions (not called cost share) Think 4:1? Federal award is main funding Needs a real sustainability plan Needs a sustainability plan Run by full-time CEO Run by university-based PI Can be run by non-universities 99% run by universities The R&D needs to be novel & exciting Highly functional collaborative model across lots of stakeholders Industry very involved in research including providing funding DEIA super important “Culture of innovation” needs to be established Both:
An innovation ecosystem leverages... • Existing R&D assets • Existing workforce, STEM training assets • Venture & philanthropic partners • Government • Of course industry! An innovation ecosystem addresses... • Critical technology needs • Identified societal issues • Gaps in innovation infrastructure • Gaps in workforce preparation
An innovation ecosystem produces…
• New technologies & applied knowledge • Patents, licenses, & products • Capital in-flows • New businesses and entrepreneurs • New & retained jobs • Future-trained workers (All “skill” levels)
ROUGH TIMELINE
August Engage current partners, add others
Assess and initiate establishment of independent non-profit
Form functional working groups for R&D, translation, workforce, DEIA & regional impact
September Working groups active: meetings, studies, focus groups as needed
Develop industry and government engagement strategy for partnerships
Agree on governance structure for non-profit
October Working group landscape analysis and initial recommendations due
Hold 2-d visioning workshop: vision, mission, scope drafted
