Even though the use of simulation is already common in the automotive industry, it is rarely applied in the seamlessly throughout the entire vehicle development process. Vertical integration is an approach that makes use of simulation across the borders of software development and that enables its application from function planning to validation in the vehicle.

In the video, our expert uses the example of AEB function development to demonstrate how simulation, from model-in-the-loop (MIL), to software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) to vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL), is used to save time and costs during the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

In the past years, the topic of simulation scalability has gained momentum. Millions of test kilometers are required to validate systems. This means that virtual test scenarios have to be generated and simulated in a shorter time. Highly automated processes, High Performance Computing and parallelization have therefore become indispensable in vehicle development. In this video, our expert presents three different user groups, and demonstrates how they can solve the challenges they are currently facing in their areas of application. 

When developing autonomous driving functions, numerous scenarios have to be generated because it is the only way to increase the safety of the system. Manual approaches, such as the use of an editor, are time-consuming and do not fulfill the requirements of current vehicle development. Automated processes, however, offer the possibility to use the data on which the virtual test run is based much more efficiently. One option is “ScenarioRRR”.

Our expert for scenario generation will show you how to use this toolbox to efficiently generate and adapt scenarios in order to create variations.
