PhD: "AI for Automotive Architecture Validation"_Unsupervised learning and simulation for intelligent system testing_

This PhD Program is a collaboration program between SEAT and the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB) where strategic research projects are carried out.

Project Description:
Context

The increasing complexity of modern vehicle electrical and electronic (E/E) architectures is exceeding the capabilities of traditional validation approaches. Manual test‑case definition is time‑consuming, error‑prone, and increasingly insufficient to cover real driving conditions or rare edge cases. In addition, conventional validation heavily depends on physical prototypes, leading to higher development and logistics costs as well as longer development cycles.

To address these challenges, new data‑driven and intelligent validation strategies are required to ensure robustness, scalability, and efficiency in future vehicle development.

Description





This PhD project aims to develop an AI‑driven validation system capable of learning autonomously from series‑production vehicles. Using unsupervised learning techniques, the system will model normal system behavior and detect anomalies or unexpected behaviors in development vehicles without the need for predefined test cases.

Furthermore, the integration of the proposed AI solution with simulation environments will enable the creation of realistic, data‑driven test scenarios. This approach will significantly enhance validation coverage, including scenarios that are difficult or costly to reproduce with physical testing alone.

Overall, the project will contribute to more efficient, robust, and future‑proof validation processes for next‑generation automotive architectures.
