ETAS offers modular tools and services for continuous virtual testing and pre-calibration. Use cases include the generation of virtual ECUs, their integration into a virtual vehicle or related sub-system as well as scaled simulation, analytics, and reporting.
All tools and artefacts are optimized for integration into existing development environments and pipelines.
How do you benefit?
- efficient solutions for virtual testing
- increase simulation speed dramatically (in customer applications, increases of up to 150 times could be realized)
- open interfaces to third-party and in-house solutions
Areas of application
- creation, debugging and pre-calibration of virtual ECUs
- integration and simulation of virtual artefacts, parallel executed in the cloud
- set up of complete communication networks, including virtual ECUs and virtual buses
This video shows how to develop Software in the Loop (SIL) systems that allow for the prediction of vehicle emissions for a statistically relevant set of driving scenarios.
It was created in collaboration between Bosch Powertrain Solutions, ETAS, and the Bosch Center of Artificial Intelligence.
