Product Engineering & Development
-- miniSim. Endless possibilities.
The world of transportation is changing rapidly, with vehicles becoming smarter and safer than ever before. This also means greater complexity in vehicle systems. Because a particular vehicle component or technology does not act in a vacuum, a systems-level approach must be taken in designing today's vehicles. Engineers must examine not only how a particular component or technology will function by itself in a vehicle, but also how it will interact with other components, as well as the driver.
In developing new technologies, simulation is key. Simulation enables road-testing of designs and technologies in a risk-free, virtual environment where an almost endless number of scenarios can be built to test specific situations and answer important questions.
Ideal for product engineering and development, the miniSim provides the high level of product integrity required to protect consumers and meet regulatory demands, while maintaining a price that keeps testing and engineering costs low.
When reputation and safety is on the line, vehicle technology must perform the first time, every time. The miniSim helps you to meet these challenging demands with the level of quality and flexibility you can count on.
The miniSim has been used by product engineers and developers in areas such as:
- Applied research
- Automation
In the demanding, complex environment of automated vehicle technologies development, the miniSim provides efficient solutions to support lean product development. The miniSim's logical database application program interface (API) allows users to extract road information at runtime such as geometry, speed limits, lane marking, and scenario static and dynamic objects. miniSim vehicle automation includes external control of low-level behaviors such as transfer control, lane and speed following, lane change, brake to stop, merge/exit, turn, pull over, abort, transfer, turn-by-turn instruction, and driving style.
