The latest research shows that the DIANA research project makes it possible to quickly repair car failures

August 7, 2013, Germany, New Zealand must Fort - - time, car repair in the repair shop from 2015 onwards will be greatly reduced. Thanks to Audi, Continental, Infineon Technologies and ZMDI for joint research. In the DIANA project, these companies focused their research on improving the analysis and diagnostic capabilities of automotive electronic control units (ECUs). Under the leadership of Infineon, three years of research has created a more differentiated method of fault detection, which has greatly accelerated the speed of repairs in the repair shop. With the support of research institutions and universities, the method already has "end-to-end diagnostic capabilities for semiconductor components and high-level systems used to analyze ongoing and unscheduled automotive failures" (DIANA)

Today's automotive electronic equipment is very complicated. Modern cars are equipped with an average of 80 ECUs, and advanced cars may be equipped with 100 or more. Experience has shown that it is impossible to find the exact cause of failures based on the numerous failures reported by automotive electronic systems. The repair shop usually has no choice but to narrow down the fault scope by systematically replacing system components until the fault is finally eliminated.

With the help of the methods developed in the DIANA project, in the future, it will be possible to identify automotive electronic faults more quickly, so that they can be repaired more efficiently. The decisive factor for this achievement is the quality control method deployed in semiconductor production. These methods have been further developed by DIANA project partners, so that the chips integrated into the car can be directly used in car self-diagnosis systems. Therefore, the ECU in the car can continuously monitor itself before the car is started and during driving. Based on these continuously collected self-diagnostic data, the fault can be detected early in the fault, because the diagnostic data is transmitted to the high-level system components of the ECU in a preprocessed form. This provides a great help for electromechanical engineers in the repair shop to diagnose the fault. It is the targeted cooperative research and development of DIANA partners that makes such a comprehensive diagnostic capability of automobiles a reality.

If the diagnostic technology proves to be reliable and practical in the automotive field, it will also be widely used in other areas where safety is important, such as trains and airplanes and other modes of transportation and medical technology.

The DIANA project is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) of approximately 4.8 million euros and is part of the government ’s high-tech strategy and the "2020 Information and Communication Technology Plan" (IKT 2020). Among the many themes of IKT 2020, the core theme is automotive and mobility, aiming to greatly improve the stability of automotive electronic devices.
