Project: Lidar Sensors

Besides a distributed hardware and software architecture, the Lidar system includes mechanical, hydraulic, thermal and optical subsystems. On behalf of a global automotive supplier, I developed a SysML model that included all these systems and their dependencies. In addition, I integrated the product point of view, security relevance and system specification elements. The main tasks were:

• Modeling of the relevant features and functionalities of a Lidar system
  • Pixel provision
  • Object detection
  • Automatic adjustment
  • Cleaning
  • Heating
  • Error handling
  • Safety modes
  • Communication
  • Maintenance
• Modeling of the structural architecture of a Lidar system
  • Laser
  • Optics
  • Power supply
  • Connectivity
  • Water system
  • Electrical heating system
  • Adjustment driver system
  • Housing
  • Hardware components
  • Software components
• Development of a SysML profile
• Detection and management of open issues
• Inclusion of stakeholder requirements and traceability
• Integration of MBSE methods in the company processes
• Provision of model driven specifications
