ANR project 0-DEFECT: On-board fault diagnosis for wired networks in automotive systems

Participants : Mohamed Oumri, Michel Sorine, Qinghua Zhang.

The number of electric and electronic equipments is increasing rapidly in automotive vehicles. Consequently, the reliability of electric connections is becoming more and more important. The project entitled “Outil de diagnostic embarqué de faisseaux automobiles” (0-DEFECT) aims at developping tools for on-bord diagnosis of failures in electric wire connections in automotive systems. This project is funded by Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) for three years from 2009. The involved partners are CEA LIST (project leader), Renault Trucks, Freescale, PSA, Delphi, Supelec LGEP and INRIA. A prototype of a reflectometry-based diagnosis tool is under development in this project.
