During my period as a researcher/trainee at WEG, I could work with the Low Power Traction Drives team in the electrical powertrain drive development project for electrical Vehicles. My work was focused on research, implementation and evaluation of technologies and communication protocols for electrical controllers and drives, mainly CAN and J1939.I was the first in the team to start working with Vector's CANoe, which is a software tool for development, testing and analysis of individual… Show more During my period as a researcher/trainee at WEG, I could work with the Low Power Traction Drives team in the electrical powertrain drive development project for electrical Vehicles. My work was focused on research, implementation and evaluation of technologies and communication protocols for electrical controllers and drives, mainly CAN and J1939.I was the first in the team to start working with Vector's CANoe, which is a software tool for development, testing and analysis of individual ECUs and entire ECU networks. That was very important because it improved our possibilities to analyze, test and simulate communication systems for automotive applications. Show less
