Synchronization of flywheel position between autonomous devices

Abstract: More computing power will be required in Scania’s future engine control units. Calculations is therefore needed to be performed on new hardware such as an FPGA. One problem that arises is synchronization of flywheelposition. This master thesis examines the opportunities existing Scania hardware has to perform synchronization of flywheel position. Different concepts for synchronization have been developed and compared with each other. One of the concepts have been implemented and made possible witha PCB-adapter. The results show that synchronization is possible within given real-time requirements. Finally, an analysis to series production has been made. It show the challenges that an FPGA will face when integrated into a future engine control unit.
