KIARA

Artificial intelligence for aging identification of real applications of exhaust catalysts.

Public joint project funded by BMWK.

Project goals

The goal is the development of an AI method for the analysis and reduction of aging phenomena of exhaust aftertreatment systems

  • Generation of training data for artificial intelligence (AI)
  • Detection of aging mechanisms from measurement data and logic of the AI
  • Prediction of aging mechanisms

Project contents

  • Investigation of real aging behavior
  • Comparison of measurement methods: Test bench vs. OBD
  • Aging detection in the vehicle
  • Aging mechanisms
  • Real driving efficiency
  • Interactions of catalyst combinations
  • Big Data and data evaluation with "artificial intelligence”
  • Vehicle 5.0

Architecture AI model 1:

  • Gradient boosted tree algorithm
