We offer the following research topic

Thesis - Brake Wear Particle Emissions: Optimization of an existing prototype 

Master Thesis

Non-exhaust emissions (brake, tire, and road wear) are currently responsible for up to 85% of traffic-related PM10 particulate matter emissions. With the introduction of the new Euro 7 emission standard, brake emissions will be regulated for the first time worldwide.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Familiarization with previous AVL studies on RDE brake emission measurement
• Analysis, interpretation, and preparation of existing measurement results
• Benchmarking of current brake and suspension concepts
• Adaptation of the existing prototype to another vehicle
• Test planning and execution of emission measurements on the test bench or RDE
• Evaluation, interpretation, and documentation of the results 

YOUR PROFILE:

• Ongoing master studies in the field of mechanical engineering, industrial engineering or physics
• Independent, methodical, careful, and transparent approach
• Interest in vehicles and skill in data visualization
• Desired programming knowledge – Concerto
• CAD experience is a plus
• Driver's license B – safe driving behavior

WE OFFER:

• You can write your thesis independently and receive professional guidance and support from our experienced employees.            
• You will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts in the company and benefit from their expertise.            
• Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of AVL and embed your theoretical knowledge in a practical environment.            

The successful completion of the thesis is remunerated with a one-time fee of EUR €3,500.00 before tax.

You don't want to write your final thesis just for the books, then explore the mobility of the future together with us! Maybe you will be a part of it soon!
