			<link>http://www.ipg.de/index.php?id=210&#38;tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=932&#38;cHash=b4d44ed300fa2baf20d9eea6e0e0c472</link>
			<description>Significantly Higher Attendance Reflects Further Increase of Interest in Virtual Test Driving</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[On March 5, 2013, IPG Automotive welcomed around 200 attendees to its annual Open House. The international guests from the automotive OEM and supplier industries and renowned research institutions had traveled to Karlsruhe in order to obtain information on the latest functions, tools, methods and applications available in virtual test driving.
The event was heavily focused on field usage. Based on concrete application examples from the fields of Fuel Efficiency & E-Mobility, Driver Assistance Systems, Control Systems and conventional Vehicle Dynamics IPG presented ways in which new functions and systems can be consistently evaluated in the whole virtual vehicle at any point in time during the development cycle. Please contact us directly if you are interested in the Open House presentations.
CarMaker and the new Hardware-in-the-Loop solutions could be watched in action during live demos. In addition, the Open House provided plenty of room for attendees to engage in exchanges with professional colleagues from the same and other disciplines plus the specialists from IPG. At the supporting technical exhibition, renowned partner companies showcased the successful integration of their innovations into CarMaker, enabling them to offer comprehensive solutions.
We would like to thank all attendees and partners for their help in making the 2013 Open House a resounding success. We also sincerely appreciate the extremely positive feedback we received and already look forward to being able to welcome you again to our 2014 Open House. ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Would you like to gain a better understanding of the language used by your vehicle dynamics specialists or close the gap between real-world road tests and virtual test driving? Here you can methodically and systematically learn how to subjectively evaluate handling characteristics in a hands-on seminar and combine your new skills with technical knowledge in vehicle dynamics. 
Experience superb driving dynamics during the practical part of the seminar: Experienced instructors will be training the participants in the criteria that are relevant to vehicle dynamics and ride at six selected stations. Bernhard Schick, general manager at IPG Automotive with responsibility for Innovation will be on hand as an instructor as well and share his long-standing test experience with you. You will be driving various maneuvers with different current vehicle models on secondary roads, freeways, a comfort track plus a handling course and a vehicle dynamics platform. 
Theoretical knowledge relating to chassis engineering and handling characteristics plus the teaching of efficient methods of vehicle dynamics evaluation in “virtual test driving” complement the program.]]></content:encoded>

			<title>FISITA 2012: Outstanding Paper Award for &quot;Highly Interconnected Safety Systems&quot;</title>
			<link>http://www.ipg.de/index.php?id=210&#38;tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=929&#38;cHash=1e6c45635b758ab803625dd21a8dc151</link>
			<description>The FISITA World Automotive Congress in Beijing has recognized the joint paper presented by IPG...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[With 2,000 visitors in attendance, the FISITA (Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d'Ingénieurs des Techniques de l'Automobile) Congress is regarded as one of the leading international conferences for scientists and experts from the automobile industry.  
A total of 680 topics were presented at the Beijing conference, 380 of them in the form of lectures. Ten lectures, including the German presentation titled "Maneuver-based Testing of Integrated, Highly Interconnected Safety Systems," were recognized with an Outstanding Paper Award. The paper describes the integration of safety systems in automobiles and the development of a seamless testing system. The accolade marks a major success for the research team and underscores the importance of this innovation topic. 
To increase traffic safety, as well as for efficiency and cost reasons, automotive safety functions are subjected to continuous further development. In this context, the integration of active and passive safety continually advances as well. These integrated safety systems ensure that the vehicle automatically detects hazards in less time and is able to initiate corrective actions at an earlier stage. 
The verification and validation of these highly interconnected systems, however, leads to a significant increase in testing complexity and makes completely new demands on the test systems. At the moment, test methods for active and passive safety systems are still frequently looked at in isolation, although a holistic view is indispensable to ensuring the correct interaction of the individual systems. To meet these new requirements, the cooperation partners in the current research project are working on the extension and further optimization of an existing test system.  ]]></content:encoded>

			<description>Prime Minister Kretschmann highly impressed with virtual test driving</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Baden-Wuerttemberg state government regularly hosts a reception on the German Unity Day and this year it was held at the German embassy in Vienna, Austria, on October 4, 2012. Companies based in Baden-Wuerttemberg have the opportunity to demonstrate the state’s innovation capabilities at this exclusive event for representatives of the political community and society.  This year’s participants included member companies of the e-mobil BW top cluster which IPG, among other things, as coordinator of the GreenNavigation cluster project, is a member of. Energy-efficient driving was one of the focal topics at the function.
IPG was on location with a new system experience terminal to present leading-edge simulation technologies centered on virtual test driving. The reception’s host, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann, was informed by Product Manager Steffen Schmidt about the contribution that IPG simulation tools make to modern vehicle development, particularly with respect to viable, forward-thinking mobility concepts. Prime Minister Kretschmann used the opportunity to take several virtual test drives and was highly impressed with the live demonstration. ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Considering the increased number of road fatalities in the year 2011, the issue of road safety is more relevant than ever before. At the UAS Ingolstadt, RTT and IPG Automotive recently invited guests to a “TechDay” regarding the topic “Driving Simulators in Real-Time”. About 80 visitors, including representatives of renowned manufacturers and suppliers of the automotive industry, obtained on-site information to discuss current developments and research issues regarding the topic of driving dynamics simulation in real-time.

The demonstration points, a hexapod test rig of the UAS Ingolstadt as well as the “Design-in-Motion” -simulator of RTT, were much in demand. At these demonstration points, the participants could take a virtual test drive by themselves. The close-to-reality real-time driving experience is enabled by the driving dynamics simulation software CarMaker from IPG Automotive. The performance of the open integration and test platform, CarMaker, aroused much interest amongst the participants.

At the “Design-in-Motion” driving simulator from RTT, several cameras capture the movement of the drivers eyes and head during the virtual test drive and transmit this data to 3D glasses. This allows the verification of the position of the control elements on the dashboard as well as the all-around visibility out of the car at an early point of development. Using the hexapod test rig, a driving simulator installed on a motion platform, it is possible to evaluate predictive safety systems like reversible belt tensioners. Various lectures rounded off the program.
