    With the increasing demand for real-time and large capacity data transmission in the in-vehicle network, Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) has become an essential technology in the electronic and electrical architecture with vehicle ethernet as the backbone network. In order to verify the delay effect of TSN protocol on vehicle ethernet, this paper analyzes the technical characteristics and application scenarios of the main TSN protocol family, uses RTaW software modeling, and simulates the traffic of vehicle ethernet under 4 different conditions through the Zonal architecture network. The results show that when the interference traffic accounts for 80% of the main link bandwidth, the worst end-to-end delay of vehicle ethernet using TSN protocol increases by about 0.1 us, which is close to no-interference case delay. Simulation results show that TSN can guarantee the delay of vehicle ethernet transmission queue reliably. TSN will play a greater role in audio and video transmission, high-level automatic driving, security backup and other aspects.

    In order to overcome the challenges of traffic sign detection and recognition, such as small targets, diverse sizes, difficulty in obtaining relevant feature information, and susceptibility to complex background interference, traffic signs are detected and recognized. a deep learning method for traffic sign detection and recognition is proposed based on the YOLOv5s network. Addressing the issue of current traffic sign recognition algorithms struggling to identify small targets in complex backgrounds, we have integrated a shuffle attention mechanism into the C3 layer at the end of the YOLOv5s backbone network. This integration introduces a traffic sign detection and recognition algorithm that relies on an attention mechanism. This enhances the ability to focus on key areas and effectively eliminates background noise interference. To address the limitations of feature fusion in current object detection algorithms when dealing with traffic signs of varying sizes in images, we propose a weighted feature fusion network algorithm. This algorithm performs weighted fusion of shallow feature maps containing rich semantic information in the backbone network with medium and large target detection layers, enhancing the fusion ability of multi-size features. Experimental results on the traffic sign detection dataset CCTSDB 2021 show that the enhanced algorithm achieved a 0.5 percentage points increase in precision, a 3.6 percentage points increase in recall, and an average precision improvement of 2.8 percentage points compared to the original YOLOv5s method. Additionally, the detection speed reached 123.46 frame/s. Therefore, the proposed algorithm effectively enhances the accuracy of traffic sign detection and recognition while maintaining a original detection speed.

    Fuel cell vehicle (FCV) is an important direction for the sustainable development of the automotive industry in the future. However, existing test and evaluation standards for FCVs have not thoroughly examined the types of faults and their classification. There is a lack of a unified fault grading classification scheme. To solve this issue, a comprehensive set of grading classification evaluation indicators for FCV faults is proposed to standardize the levels of related faults. The focus is on researching methods for classifying FCV faults in the case of lack of data. Based on factor analysis and fuzzy set theory, a fault mode classification evaluation method for FCVs under data scarcity conditions is proposed, offering guidance for the classification of FCV fault levels.

    Focusing on the application of the non-metallic painting process of automotive exterior parts, this paper introduces the principle of the non-metallic painting process, the constitute of the non-metallic painting production line, the classification of paint materials and the development trend of the non-metallic painting process. The non-metallic painting process is a common surface treatment method for non-metallic parts. With the help of automatic painting robots, the surface of exterior parts is treated according to design requirements. The functions of paint are mainly divided into 3 categories: protection, decoration and function. The functional requirements of exterior decoration parts are stricter. In addition to meeting the thermodynamic performance, they also need to have excellent UV resistance and corrosion resistance. The research trend of paint materials is to study a new type of paint integrating environmental protection, decoration and performance in use. The development direction of the non-metallic painting process refers to intelligent and environmentally friendly.
