Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a system to collect product information from manufacturers and make it available in tools that are used for concurrent design of spacecraft. The planning of a spacecraft needs experts from different disciplines, like propulsion, power, and thermal. Since these different disciplines rely on each other there is a high need for communication between them, which is often realized by a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) process and corresponding tools. We show by comparison that the product information provided by manufacturers often does not match the information needed by MBSE tools on a syntactic or semantic level. The information from manufacturers is also currently not available in machine-readable formats. Afterwards, we present a prototype of a system that makes product information from manufacturers directly available in MBSE tools, in a machine-readable way.

Abstract

International audience; Engineering autonomous driving functions has become a dramatic challenge in automotive engineering since it is now required to integrate knowledge from multi-disciplinary domains. In this context, the widespread engineering methods are showing their limit since they mainly integrate technological centered point of view. Thus, these new requirements lead naturally to the design of new method for engineering in automotive field. The goal of this paper is to sketch an overview of the possible improvements that Knowledge Modeling and ontologies can bring to Systems Engineering and especially in the case of Autonomous Driving functions.
