At the IMS, the potential for increasing the efficiency of powertrains by knowing the speed to be expected in the next few seconds is being investigated on the basis of AI-based predictions.

The Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (KAN) approach presented in April 2024 promises faster training, improved accuracy and interpretability compared to conventional multi-layer perceptrons (MLP). So far, only a simple Matlab implementation of KANs with basic functionality exists.

The aim of this advertised work is to realise a KAN implementation against the background of the Matlab Deep Learning Toolbox and to use it for speed prediction.

A data set comprising over 29,000 kilometres is available as a data basis.
