UTAC joins the capital of AVSimulation’s (Sogeclair) With the entry of UTAC into its capital, AVSimulation, a Sogeclair subsidiary, is accelerating the development of vehicle testing in a virtual environment This new strategic agreement expands AVSimulation’s certification capability with digital certification scenarios whose realism and…
To test and validate automotive systems and/or perform human factors researches engineers and researchers have been using for years simulation. Simulation and real-world tests are complementary, the simulation allows to emulate equipment/models (e.g., powertrain, sensors, lighting and more) use on vehicles to generate new data…
Can you introduce yourself? After some rich years leading some projects for French car manufacturers and suppliers, I decided to move from a user to a creator of driving simulators. From 2009, I supervised international projects for OKTAL (former name of the AVSimulation office). When…
There are many challenges we face in the domain of automotive simulation. While it is of course important to recognize the clear and numerous benefits of simulation, it is also important to recognize the need to implement appropriate systems in a simulation environment. In other…
AVSimulation is proud to announce that SCANeR 2022.2, the latest major version of our automotive simulation software package, is now available. It includes many new features and enhancements to meet the needs of the most challenging simulation applications for engineers and scientists. These new features will…
About automotive simulation As you already know, simulation in the automotive industry has become essential in the development of new vehicles and products. This is due to the fact that simulation allows the actors of the automotive the industry to design, test and validate their…
Can you introduce yourself? Rémi Figueredo, for the last 3 years, I have been a Research and Development engineer at AVSimulation, and my area of expertise is Vehicle Dynamics. As part of the technical direction, I participate in the development of the SCANeR software and…
Driver in the Loop The concept of driving simulators emerged in the 1930’s for research on traffic safety. The concept shown here by DeSilva in 1936 is already close to some simulators used these days. At the time, the idea was already to bring the…
Can you introduce yourself? I am Valérie Dognin, I’m Product Owner at AVSimulation for 3 years. I am in charge of SCANeR Roadmap and more particularly on Terrain and Visual subjects. Can you give us a quick and simple definition of OpenDRIVE? OpenDRIVE (Open Dynamic…
Before simulation, validation of new systems under test (complete vehicles, ADAS command law, headlights, etc.) were only physical tests, which means that we deployed several versions of prototypes on a track in order to make sure that the behavior is what was expected. The aim…
