The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and ICT Group are proud to announce that they will intensify their collaboration in the area of Functional Safety for future developments in the Automotive industry.
ICT Group and the Software Engineering and Technology (SET) cluster of the Mathematics and Computer Sience department at the Eindhoven University of Technology will collaborate intensively in the area of Functional Safety for vehicles. As part of the agreement, Koen Peppelman (Business Unit Manager ICT Electronics) and Johan van Uden (Technical Consultant ICT Electronics) provided a laboratory setup to Prof. dr. Mark van den Brand and dr. ir. Ion Barosan (assistant professor in the SET cluster). This lab setup consists of an advanced TTTech Automotive controller (ECU) with ICT Group's model-based development platform Motar.
