| The Project: |
| Purpose: |
Modular R&D Simulator |
| Description: |
This is the first driving simulator for which we also developed and manufactured the
mock-up completely in-house. It was presented to the public on June 04, 2008 at the University of Applied Sciences, Munich, at a meeting of the partners
of the Competence Center for Image Processing.
|
| Components: |
The software combines all elements of our
tool chain for
driving simulation, complemented by components of our partner companies: high-end vehicle dynamics,
a modular interfacing system, and a control loading system.
|
| Highlights: |
- modular mockup
- force-feedback steering wheel
- programmable instrumentation
- advanced, extensible interfacing system
- v-IG image generator
- extensive visual databases with motorway, rural and urban areas
- traffic, sound and scenario simulation
- instructor station
- data visualization
- sensor simulation
- etc.
|
| Challenges: |
The most challenging requirement was to make the mock-up fit through any door that is at least 80cm wide. This resulted in a
modular design (the mock-up comes in three parts), so that the simulator can be assembled and used at virtually any location, ranging from
standard offices to show rooms.
|
| Applications: |
A single tool for large extents of the typical R&D cycle in the automotive
industry: starting from early design
phases via the implementation of
s/w prototypes to testing and presentation. Typical applications are
driver assistance systems, display-, warning-, and handling concepts.
