Technical consulting for model-based design methods with the market leading MathWorks tools MATLAB/Simulink as well as for several toolboxes and blocksets for modeling und optimizing dynamic systems. Tools and methods for functional and structural tests were also under my responsibilities.

The goal was to set up an environment model on the Simulink platform to deliver a tool for the software development department to test their retractor activation algorithms. This simulation model helps to reduce the number of test runs in real vehicles an accelerate the development process. To achieve this I modeled an environment for the model-based development of the activation algorithm for reversible restraint systems.
