PREM JASON MENDONCA

On deputation at Daimler Truck AG.

Active Safety & Automation department - Urban Safety - Sensor Fusion

Nonlinear Observer Design for Lane Sensor Fusion - Researched and analyzed alternative nonlinear lane observers with a focus on performance - Implemented nonlinear lane observer designs using Extended Kalman Filter, Moving Horizon Estimation & Recursive Least Squares algorithms - Evaluated the performance of each design against the existing lane fusion algorithm using MIL strategies - Implemented the selected observer as a prototype in C and verified it using a SIL strategy for the target ECU

Sensor Fusion team of the Active Safety & Automation department. Developed a toolchain for big data analysis of lane prediction performance on Azure Databricks - Piloted the tool chain for lane sensor fusion - Visualized the graduated performance of lane path estimation based on the key performance index "fitness factor" using the mapping platform Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) Improved a MATLAB-based resimulation, visualization, and performance evaluation tool for lane sensor fusion

- Researched fundamentals of the Capture Module Protocol for data logging - Documented and presented the same in an internal colloquium. - Developed library in Python for parsing GigE Vision Streaming Protocol packets as Capture Module Protocol.
