Automated Driving and its Impact on Future Business Models

Dr. Wolfgang BernhartSenior Partner Automotive, Roland Berger GmbH Germany

• Customer perspective on automated driving and "Automated Mobility as a Service"

• Competitive landscape: control points and strategies of major players

• Future differentiation potential for OEMs and Suppliers

Properties, Interactions and Dynamics of Brake Particles and their Environmental Impact

Prof. Dr. Arno Kwade CEO, Institute for Particle Technology Germany

During braking fine particles are released and exposed to the environment. The behaviour of these fine particles is very complex and is determined among others by their size, morphology and interaction forces like van der Waals or electrostatic forces, but also by the surrounding fluid, e.g. the air humidity. Depending on their size and the air motion and humidity the particles can agglomerate, settle and/or move with the air flow. This behaviour of these particles in the environment can be described by basic principles of particle technology. Moreover, using advanced simulation methods like discrete element method coupled with computational fluid dynamics the behaviour of individual particles in the environment can be simulated. An overview of physical and mechanistic models as well as an introduction in possible simulation methods describing the brake particle behaviour in the environment will be given and explained based on characteristic examples.

This panel brings together leading rail transport experts from both Europe and Asia to discuss future research directions and challenges facing the rail sector. Each panellist will make a short presentation on the status of the rail industry in their domain and to reflect on the latest research topics in rail vehicle braking. For example, how are efficiency issues such as automated train operation (driverless trains), “smart” rail traffic management systems and reduced braking distances being addressed in their domains. Regarding environmental effects, to what extent are rail brake noise (squeal), wear debris emissions and lightweight braking materials of concern? What other future challenges are there in the rail industry and how are these challenges being addressed in their own sectors?

Following the short presentations by the panellists, there will be general discussion chaired by Johannes Gräber, Knorr-Bremse, and Prof Yannick Desplanques, University of Lille, where delegates will have the opportunity to give their views on the future challenges and raise their questions with the distinguished panellists.

Brake Emissions Panel

Chair:Mr. Harald AbendrothConsultant

Chair:Prof. Dr. Georg Ostermeyer Technische Universität Braunschweig

The environment is a topic that raises mixed emotions around the world, in particular when the focus is vehicles and public transportation, engine exhaust, tyres but also brake emissions. This special Panel session will feature a number of views on brake emissions, including ongoing efforts to develop and agree testing, metrology and load profiles for brake emissions.

Brake emissions depend on friction couples, load profiles and load history. We see major influences from powertrains – electric and hybrids, also relevant progress with wear reduced friction couples.

Key discussions will include:• The level of knowledge around brake emissions

• The contribution to overall air pollution today and in the future

• Global regulations

• Global co-operation and collaboration

Cambustion

United KingdomEmail address: [email protected] number: +44 1223 210250 Website: www.cambustion.com/products

Nanoparticle emissions from braking systems fitted to vehicles are of increasing interest worldwide. Studies have suggested that the number of particles emitted by braking systems can be of a similar magnitude to those emitted from the tailpipe of a modern light duty vehicle, and this leads to an increasing desire to characterise the particle emissions from friction brakes.

Cambustion’s DMS500 fast particle sizing instrument combines a wide measurement range (5 nm – 2,500 nm) with 10 Hz data and a T10-90% response time of just 200ms, making it ideal for studying brake emissions which are characteristically short duration and potentially high concentration. The system outputs a size/number spectrum, which can be processed to calculate particle mass and other parameters such as surface area using suitable weighing.

Optional use of constant volume sampling allows real-time calculation not just of concentrations, but also total emissions per second and hence total number (or other calculated parameters such as mass) of particles emitted per braking event.
