Optimization of Zonal Electric/Electronic Architectures Using a Coupled Modeling Approach of Package and Wiring Harness

Jonas Maier presents a method for designing decentralized, spatially structured E/E architectures. A coupled approach of package and wiring harness models is used for this purpose. Relevant data can be exchanged between the models by transferring the boundary conditions. The spatial division of the vehicle into zones is optimized by an extended k-means algorithm. Based on this, the connection path...
