Master Thesis at Traction Control

Req ID 470375

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

We are looking for a Master thesis student to join our team in Västerås!

Duration: 20 weeks, on-site

Background 

Model-based design is widely utilized in the development of complex software applications, as it can accelerate the development process and facilitate early verification through simulation.

Our current software development process employs MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, code generation, and testing of traction control applications. Recent advancements in MathWorks tools, including the introduction of System Composer, have enabled the specification and analysis of architectures for model-based system engineering and the modeling of software and system architectures.

 
Problem description and goals 

This thesis aims to investigate the application of System Composer in the development of traction control applications. The scope of the thesis is twofold:
1. To examine how architectural models can enhance traction software concerning requirements allocation, modularization, testability, and more.
2. To prototype an architectural model that demonstrates how System Composer can be integrated into our current development process.
