Digital twin model proposal for an automotive chassis

The digital twin is a comprehensive representation of a product or process into a digital world, playing a vital role in the product lifecycle and helping to the horizontal integration of the production process. Nevertheless, digital twin technology has not been completely implemented on vehicle systems. This is an opportunity to propose a service digital twin model based on a smart product reference. In this work, a first validation of the architecture, simulation, and experimentation will be studied on a vehicle chassis case of study. Calculations for vehicle dynamics, torsion and strain phenomena will be part of the study case. A smartphone is used to acquire the vehicle dynamics as the most suitable and inexpensive sensing technology. Also, simulation using commercial software and result validation under certain conditions will be provided.
