"35 under 35" salon event-Virtual Simulation
was successfully held
The new "35 under 35" event of the Society of Chinese Automotive Engineers of the UK was successfully held on September 29, 2024.
The theme of this salon event is virtual simulation, focusing on the application of advanced virtual simulation technology in modern automobile development.
Professor Xu Hongming, Chairman of the Society of Chinese Automotive Engineers in the UK, delivered an opening speech at the event, introduced the significance of the "35 under 35" event, and elaborated on the important role of virtual simulation in automotive technology innovation.
In this salon, four special guests delivered academic reports in turn, discussing the latest applications and developments of virtual simulation technology in intelligent driving and new energy vehicle development. This salon event was hosted by Wang Hetian, a doctoral student of WMG at the University of Warwick. The sharing content of the guests was in-depth and wonderful, and the discussion session interacted with the audience enthusiastically, providing a professional and in-depth academic exchange platform for online audiences.
First, Dr. Xu Yipeng from the University of Liverpool shared with everyone "Intelligent decision-making algorithms to achieve refined charging management of electric vehicles". Dr. Xu Yipeng is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Liverpool, UK, and is mainly engaged in the management of flexible resources on the power demand side such as electric vehicles. Dr. Xu introduced the severe challenges facing the power system power balance in the context of the construction of a new power system, and elaborated on the flexible energy storage opportunities created by electric vehicles as a new type of flexible and adjustable load in the current environment, and discussed in depth the large-scale real-time charging management strategy of electric vehicles based on the learnable long-term and short-term impact balance.
The second report came from Dr. Kong Yan, a postdoctoral researcher at Brunel University London. Dr. Kong Yan's research areas mainly involve data-driven control and multi-vehicle collaborative control. The theme of this report is "Vehicle Cooperative Optimization Base on Date-driven Control". Dr. Kong Yan introduced the vehicle optimization control method and demonstrated how to achieve the balance and optimization of multiple goals such as driving safety, energy management, and driving comfort in different driving scenarios. He also introduced a framework for multi-vehicle collaborative optimization and explored how to achieve collaborative optimization of regional traffic and energy through vehicle networking technology.
Afterwards, He Xu, a doctoral student in mechanical engineering at the University of Birmingham, shared his experience on the topic of "The significance and application of virtual simulation in human-machine co-driving technology". He Xu's main research direction is data-driven modeling and optimization control of human-machine co-driving frameworks. He is also a member of the CASE Vehicle Education and Research Center at the University of Birmingham. In this sharing session, the role of virtual simulation in promoting the development of human-machine collaborative driving systems was discussed. Through virtual simulation technology, human-machine co-driving systems can be tested in a safe environment, reducing development costs and accelerating design iterations.
The last guest speaker was Yi Xiao, a PhD student from the University of Glasgow. His topic was "Graph Spatial-temporal Networks Based Decision Making for Automated Vehicles". Yi Xiao graduated from Tongji University with a bachelor's degree in Vehicle Service Engineering and a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Glasgow. He is currently studying at the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow. His main research areas include planning and control of autonomous vehicles, and he focuses on the application of graph neural networks in the prediction and planning of social behaviors of vehicles.
After the report, the guests and online audiences had a wonderful discussion on the development and prospects of virtual simulation and digital twin technology in the fields of new energy vehicles and autonomous driving, and gave professional insights into the multi-angle questions raised by the online audience.
The event was strongly supported by the association's partner Gasgoo, and attracted more than 15,000 viewers to watch the live broadcast online. (Event playback link: https://zhibo.gasgoo.com/watch/11299932 )
The "35 under 35" event is a series of activities launched by the Society of Chinese Automotive Engineers in the UK. It aims to provide a platform for young talents to display and share their scientific research results, and at the same time share their experience and insights in studying, scientific research and work with members and colleagues.
