Team/division description
TME R&D centre is responsible for planning, development and production support of vehicles aimed at - and locally produced for - the European market, and to support Toyota globally in the development of innovatie technologies and methodologies.
The „Vehicle Comfort“ team is part of the Vehicle Performance Engineering division (VPE) and is responsible to develop the vehicle NVH (Noise, Vibration and harshness) according to European customer expectations. Using state-of-the-art experimental and numerical methods, we develop strategies to achieve the targets, and validate them on virtual and physical prototypes.
Your project
With the transition to hybrid and electric vehicles, European customer expectations towards interior quietness are further increasing. In this internship you will contribute to the development of virtual prediction models (among others “SEA”= statistical Energy Analysis) to simulate the 3D sound experience in the vehicle cabin, and to study how these models can be used in the optimisation of the cabin acoustic treatment and to support decisions related to the layout of the loudspeakers in the cabin.
