Synopsis

This book serves as a practical and timely guide to understanding how artificial intelligence can be applied and leveraged in automotive engineering. It demystifies complex methods of applying artificial intelligence and provides readers with the tools to creatively and immediately apply them to their own engineering challenges, transforming information into knowledge.

Drawing on the authors' teaching experience, the book takes a practical approach to applying artificial intelligence tools - such as regression, classification, clustering, deep learning and reinforcement learning- to real-world engineering problems. Through clear explanations and step-by-step algorithmic structures, readers are introduced to the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence and their practical application by building AI models using automotive data. Examples include predicting the energy consumption of electric vehicles under varying environmental and operating conditions, assessing battery degradation, analyzing brake system wear, and implementing intelligent control for thermal management (HVAC systems). The book shows how the application of artificial intelligence techniques and methods can optimize performance, increase safety, and stimulate innovation in the automotive sector.

The book represents an essential guide for all those interested in exploring the application of artificial intelligence in automotive engineering (and beyond) and equally constitutes an effective support in the teaching process (courses, laboratories, projects) of applied artificial intelligence concepts.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Thomas Imre Cyrille Buidin is assistant professor in the Department of Automotive Engineering and Transports at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (UTCN), and a member of the Electric Mobility Applied Research Center (EMARC) research group. He earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from UTCN (2024) with a summa cum laude distinction. His thesis analyzed the efficiency of battery thermal management systems, and he was the first within the UTCN to incorporate AI methods into a doctoral thesis from the Mechanical Engineering domain. His domains of research and interest are hybrid and electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries, with a focus on the energy efficiency optimization of innovative thermal management solutions and systems. The results of his research activity can be summarized as one patent, seven published scientific articles, 200 citations and ten prizes and awards for research and innovation in the fields of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering.
