Purpose of the course

 Society's expectations for automobiles in terms of reduced environmental impact, safe autonomous driving, etc. are increasing, and the environment surrounding the automobile industry is expected to become even more severe in the future. In order to continue to successfully provide automobiles and related services to the world in such an environment, it is considered effective to consider them as systems and use systems engineering as an approach to realizing this.
This program provides an opportunity for management who run an organization to consider the penetration of systems engineering, as well as engineers with experience in the automotive field and beginners who are about to get involved in the automotive industry. The following provides the basis for considering the elements that make up such a service and aiming to successfully realize it throughout the entire life cycle, including services.

  • A training program to acquire the basic concepts of systems engineering
  • A program to understand the effectiveness of collaborating across specialized fields to practice systems engineering.
  • A program that promotes understanding of systems engineering implementation for organizational management.

 Furthermore, to truly understand systems engineering, it is necessary to put it into practice. Following the above training program, it is hoped that each engineer will put it into practice within the company or organization to which they belong.

9:30-9:40 Opening remarks

9:40-10:10 MBSE application efforts for vehicle remote air conditioning systems
      Yu Suzuki, Hiroaki Kurokawa, Seiji Honda (Toyota Motor Corporation)
 In recent years, vehicle systems have rapidly become more sophisticated and complex, and there is a need for further efficiency in vehicle system development. Therefore, we will apply the MBSE concept and method to solve practical problems such as rework due to discrepancies in the understanding of system requirements that are currently occurring among development personnel, and failure to identify the scope of impact when changing requirements, and demonstrate its usefulness. There is a need. This time, we will report the results of applying MBSE to the design of requirements specifications for a complex remote air conditioning system that communicates between smartphones, servers, and various ECUs.

10:10-10:40 Analysis of issues and effects when applying SE/MBSE to powertrains and ADAS
       Yutaka Ayame (Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.)
 I would like to talk about the effects and challenges that have come to light while promoting activities to apply SE/MBSE to system development in the different domains of powertrain (PWT) and ADAS. In order to tailor and apply SE/MBSE, it is necessary to analyze the current issues, including the target system, development process, and implementing organization, and then proceed with this. We will introduce development examples from both PWT, which has been working on SE for 13 years, and ADAS, which has been working on it for 5 years, and discuss the difficulties and challenges of development reform, points to note when applying it, and its effects.

10:40-11:10 To SysMLv2 – Differences from v1 and evolution of MBSE from the new standard
       Thomas BRUN, Ken Kawamura (Dassault Systèmes Inc.)
 SysML, a systems modeling language that supports MBSE practice, is currently undergoing major evolution. In July 2023, the beta version of the new standard specification SysMLv7 was published by the standards organization OMG. SysMLv2 is a language system that improves usability, expressiveness, and extensibility, and standardizes API specifications to ensure interoperability with information necessary for engineering activities. We will explain the origins of SysML, the contents of SysMLv2 including specific differences from SysMLv1, and the necessity and aim of migrating to v2.

11: 10-11: 20 Break

11:20-12:10 Panel discussion: Responding to increasingly complex automobile development
       Panelists: In addition to the above speakers, Takashi Nakazawa (Hitachi Astemo, Inc.)
       Moderator: Hidekazu Nishimura (Keio University Graduate School of System Design and Management)

12:10-12:15 Closing remarks
