Web front-end design and develop ARDUN Technologies - MVP Phase 1 - automotive

Ardun Technologies is seeking to develop a user-friendly and visually appealing front-end interface for their Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Phase 1 demonstration. The goal of this project is to create a web-based user interface (WebUI) that effectively showcases the core functionalities of Ardun Technologies' innovative solutions. The interface should be intuitive, responsive, and align with the company's branding guidelines. This project provides an excellent opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge of web development, user experience design, and front-end technologies. The team will focus on creating a seamless user experience that highlights the product's capabilities and enhances user engagement. The project is designed to be completed by a team of learners from a web development or computer science program, ensuring that all participants have the necessary skills to contribute effectively.

Connected Vehicle Cybersecurity Enhancement

The Connected Vehicle Cybersecurity Enhancement project aims to bolster the security framework of vehicles retrofitted with modern connected capabilities. As vehicles become increasingly reliant on digital systems, ensuring their cybersecurity is paramount. This project invites students to delve into the intricacies of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) and explore the principles of authentication, authorization, and privacy. Participants will engage in a comprehensive review of existing cybersecurity artifacts, identify potential vulnerabilities, and assess associated risks. The goal is to develop robust mitigation strategies that enhance the safety and security of connected vehicles. By participating, students will gain practical experience and contribute to the advancement of secure automotive technologies.

Exploring Digital Twin Deployment for Asset Management

Problems, solutions, benefits Problem(s) Identified:  the complexity, time, effort, cost developing connected car features. Benefits/solutions provided: technical and business agility by being able to adapt new capabilities into AT’s platform faster, with less repetitive effort by ARD-Tech engineers. Objective - offsetting efforts and costs of DT against potential benefits. Solutions: end-to-end connected vehicle feature development – e.g. PHEV, ADAS level 2+. KEY FACTORS CUSTOMER WILL USE TO JUDGE VALUE. (Measurable) Value drivers: Clarifies which capabilities of this product (as quantified as possible) will be most important to a customers’ perception of its overall value. Can fall into one or more of these categories: Simplicity – enables AT to experiment and assess new and or friction-reduced solutions, without necessarily having to work through lengthy pre/production processes. Reduced cost/complexity – reduced time to market, and less in-vehicle validation overhead to bring connected car features or capabilities to market. Reduced risk – provides ability to demonstrate MVP and gain valuable Customer feedback, before targeting a specific vehicle. Response to competitors: products to market quicker at reduced cost, with more complete end-to-end product testing – including safety/cyber-security aspects.   Key technology SDV, digital twin, ANSYS Digital Twin Builder, MBSE. Specific features Cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes AKS, Capella, Go/Python CRUCIAL FACTORS AS APPLICABLE . Elements that are not a primary part of the functionality but are key attributes that must be present. May include: Security – validate security measures and validate potential attack paths. Design/development – support MBSE activities AT to streamline development. Viability – assist with establishing a ‘go to market’ decision (notice-of-decision). DT to help ensure AT privacy policy upheld.
