13.12.2024 - Quick-Start Webinar: Sensor Simulation in CarMaker

Before we all enjoy our well-deserved winter holidays, we invite you to attend our Quick-Start Webinar: Sensor Simulation in CarMaker. This webinar gives you an overview of the sensor simulation portfolio available in our CarMaker product family.

Register now

What to expect:

  • IPG Automotive company introduction
  • Sensor simulation portfolio
  • Sensor model interfaces Sensor model concept
  • Q&A

The CarMaker product family offers simulation models for all sensor technologies and different levels of fidelity.

This webinar is aimed at everyone working with trucks, busses, agricultural machines or other heavy-duty vehicles and interested in virtual test driving. 

The session will highlight various challenges in the development of heavy-duty vehicles like trucks or busses and present how the simulation software TruckMaker helps to overcome them.

It will guide you through the development cycle and focus on the everyday work of different development and test teams.

Note: The demos in the webinar focus on commercial vehicles but can also be applied to the entire off-highway industry and used in a similar way for agricultural or construction machines, among others.

Our next Quick-Start Webinar is just around the corner! This time, we will take a closer look at off-highway vehicles.

The session will highlight various challenges in the virtual development of different off-highway vehicles, and present how our software TruckMaker helps to overcome them.

This Quick-Start Webinar targets engineers, researchers and enthusiasts. It will guide you through various virtual scenarios and simulate different driving manoeuvers with a virtual vehicle in our TruckMaker simulation software.
