Horiba Mira Limited

YASA, a thriving automotive business currently selling UK-manufactured powertrain products to the luxury EV sector, have partnered with semiconductor specialists Cambridge Gan Devices, and HORIBA MIRA, to realise a step-change in EV vehicle architecture. Project Re-Gen perfectly embodies world-class UK-based innovation, anchoring production expertise in t...

To create virtual modelling software for efficient optimisation of dynamic automotive control systems under real world operating conditions.

Project ICEBreaker will develop the powertrain for a prototype fuel-cell HGV featuring new technology to radically increase efficiency. Traditionally, the fuel cell has been used as a range extender in conjunction with a large battery pack (typically 140kWh). In contrast, Viritech's Tri-Volt creates a dynamic energy system in which the fuel cell is the pr...

Increasing levels of vehicle automation, driven by market demand and technology evolution, have led to a dramatic increase in functional software content and vehicle complexity. The testing of such systems presents a significant challenge for developers, deployers, regulators and insurers, who need to gain confidence in the safety, robustness and performa...

To create simulation and characterisation of real world driving which will inform the automotive sector during R&D phase.

This project will develop novel range finding and 3D imaging systems which will be used for driver assistance and the autonomous vehicles of the future. The cameras are based on detecting single photons (light particles) in the infra-red region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Depth information is gained by measuring the time of flight of the photons from...

CAVs and the infrastructure within which they operate form a highly complex super-system. In addition to operating reliably and safely, this system must be resilient in the face of cyber threats. International automotive cybersecurity standards (ISO/SAE 21434) and regulations (UNECE) are under development, which will specify requirements for cybersecurity...

Project DETAIN brings together the expertise of Unipart Logistics, Aspire Engineering, HORIBA MIRA, and Instrumentel, to develop an 'intelligent' high voltage battery storage solution to mitigate the risks associated with thermal runaway. The consortium have an ambition to use intelligent systems to DETect and contAIN thermal runaway: DETAIN. Project DETA...
