The Automotive Chassis Market is being significantly transformed through AI utilizing the same principles as all areas of life, that is moving from traditional forms (passive mechanical) to new forms (smart devices) while also changing how those new smart devices are designed to be fully functional. The first major change has been through AI-based generative design where, by using machine learning algorithms, the chassis topology is optimized (to achieve maximum structural stiffness with minimal weight). Because of this process, AI has helped engineers develop many types of frame geometries that will be approximately 20%-30% lighter than traditional equivalent frames.
, the battery casing is a primary chassis member) the increased use of skateboard designs will occur rapidly. With AI, vehicle dynamics control (active control) and health monitoring (predictive monitoring) is greatly affecting how chassis respond. The latest Digital Chassis features edge computing and Artificial Intelligence to make adjustments to the active suspension system, electronic steering, and torque vectoring based on road surface conditions (sensor data is processed in milliseconds).
Predictive maintenance uses AI to continuously monitor the vehicle's structural integrity by using embedded strain gauges and acoustic sensors that can detect minute amounts of fatigue/stress before they can be seen (with the human eye). The evolution of chassis from reactive maintenance to proactive maintenance ultimately improves passenger safety and reduces the total lifecycle cost of operating a fleet or company by keeping the chassis as a resilient and dependable foundation for future generations of fully autonomous and software-defined vehicles.
There has been a change in design for car chassis and chassis products that is largely driven by a shift to more modular construction and adding new materials to offer higher levels of performance in chassis production. As traditional internal combustion engine platforms continue to transition into electric and autonomous vehicles, the automotive market is progressing via skate board style platforms and unibody designs that are able to support heavy batteries while providing high levels of structural rigidity and, at the same time, producing light-weight structures to provide the longest possible range/electric use.
As this continues to evolve, there will continue to be a shift in how chassis' are produced using advanced high strength steel, aluminum/magnesium alloy combinations instead of heavier conventional metals to achieve the goal of maximum weight reduction. In addition, one area of focus has been a move toward "software-defined" frames that are able to be utilized as integrated packaging locations for complex sensor arrays and electronic control modules. The growth of AI in generative design for chassis and instant structure type validation is changing the automotive industry.
By utilizing machine learning methods, the latest models of chasses are now able to improve load path distribution and vibration absorption, which means thinner (but stronger) frame shapes. AI is also enabling a new method of predictive maintenance (utilizing real-time sensors and micro-strain gauges) to enable the identification of microscopic fatigue before the safety of the vehicle can be compromised. There is also a shift in the market to use zonal E/E architecture to help minimize the size of the wiring harnesses and reduce the overall mass of the vehicle's backbone.
This has evolved the chassis from a passive mechanical support to an active data enriched component that is critical for the next generation of safe, efficient and intelligent mobility.
