IPGDriver ™
The sophisticated driver model with artificial intelligence
No matter what you want to simulate - IPGDriver ™ perfectly reproduces the actions and reactions of a real driver. The most successful driver model for sophisticated closed loop driving tasks is easy to configure and being now in its 6th generation IPGDriver ™ sets the benchmark.
Embedded in a powerful maneuver control IPGDriver ™ can follow general driving instructions. It can trigger testing, measuring and diagnosis events during the maneuver. This allows the test engineer to reconstruct any driving maneuver using familiar maneuvers and action commands. The simulation is therefore very similar to the test drive in terms of method. In the simulation as in the test drive, the user concentrates on test content and not, as is often the case with model-based approaches, on the generation of appropriate signals.
IPGDriver ™ with unbeatable features
- Suitable for all vehicle types: passenger cars, racing cars, trucks and motorcycles.
- IPGDriver ™ enables handling courses, proving grounds and test tracks.
- Independent creation of different road infrastructures: city, cross country, highway, mountain road or race track.
- Independent lane & speed choice based on:
Road characteristics - driver characteristics
lane usage with respect to the track borders incl. corner cutting
Vehicle characteristics - driving behavior
- Steering by steering-wheel angle or torque
- Driving at the limits with counter steering
- Identification of the optimal brake and acceleration points
- Gear shifting with or without clutching independent and via external access
- Turn off at junctions or exits
- Target braking & stop at traffic sign
- Stop & go, driving at walking pace and shunting at short distance (< 20 cm)
- Hill-starting with parking brake
- Driving backwards and parking
- Retrace of driving cycles such as NFEC, ECE, FTP etc.
- Self-Learning capabilities and knowledge memory
- The unique software allows you performance drives of vehicle dynamic maneuvers (open & closed loop).
- Mode-shift with selector
Road characteristics - driver characteristics
lane usage with respect to the track borders incl. corner cutting
Vehicle characteristics - driving behavior
Key benefits
- Testing of new functions directly in the virtual vehicle, long before the first proto-type leaves the factory.
- Early concept optimization and validation
- Virtual test drives are valid up to the dynamic limits.
- Integrated concept from the developing of controller models and ECU codes to the final ECU or complete systems
- A more cost-effective, reproducible and secure alternative to real test drives.
