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…
Autonomous vehicles are real. Combination of different sensors (cameras, radars or LiDAR) allow vehicles to take its environment (weather, other vehicles, pedestrian, etc.) into account and therefore accelerate, turn, break autonomously. Automotive simulation has become essential in order to accelerate the developments safely. Advanced driving…
Can you introduce yourself in a few words? My name is Alex GRANDJEAN and I have worked at AVSimulation for 6 years, as product owner and project manager. I am an expert in scenarisation, traffic simulation and HPC. I am involved for more than 4…
In 2016, 1.35 million people were killed in road accidents worldwide, compared to 1.15 million in 2000. An increase of 17.7%. At the same time the number of car registrations increased by 2.5 times (from 0.8 to 2 billion). This relatively low inflation can be…
AVSimulation is proud to announce that SCANeR 2022.1, 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 help solve the challenges of developing, testing and evaluating autonomous driving functions through massive simulation, an area of utmost importance for most of our customers. The…
Global warming is a major issue, probably the most complex problem humanity has had to solve since the dawn of civilization. The complexity comes from the fact that it implies a radical change in the whole range of human activities, especially the activities related to…
Can you introduce yourself in a few words? My name is Gregory Rousseau, I’m a Product Owner for 3 years at AVSimulation. I’m in charge of defining the Roadmap, monitoring the progress of developments, while anticipating or listening to the present or future needs of…
