Fast creation, easy variation and simple re-use of traffic scenarios

The development of advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive distance control, collision avoidance systems or lane departure warning systems requires comprehensive testing to assure their functionality. Increasingly capable simulation tools, which help to keep testing requirements under control, are now available for this purpose. In addition, highly capable traffic models are necessary to generate the increasingly complex test scenarios required for virtual test driving. IPG Automotive GmbH, the leading provider of simulation and test tools for virtual test driving, offers a fitting solution in the field of traffic models: IPGTraffic.

Simulation zum Anfassen beim Open House von Bertrandt und IPG rund um die virtuelle Fahrzeugentwicklung

Unter dem Motto "Die wunderbare Welt der Virtualisierung" laden Bertrandt Wolfsburg und IPG Automotive GmbH am 5. Juli 2011 zum Open House am Bertrandt-Standort in Tappenbeck ein. Dort können sich Interessierte einen umfassenden Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Simulationstechnologie verschaffen und sich von den neuen Einsatzmöglichkeiten dieser modernen Werkzeuge und Methoden in ihrem eigenen Kompetenzbereich überzeugen.

CarMaker 3.5 Release - new dimensions in virtual drive testing

Comprehensive, systematic Hardware-in-the-Loop tests significantly help shorten development cycles of innovative driver assistance systems or powertrain concepts. As the technology leader in the field of vehicle dynamics simulation, IPG Automotive also offers its international customers from the automobile and automotive supplier industries test system solutions, ranging from standard HIL simulators through to customized large test rigs. IPG has extended its existing Xpack4 hardware platform by substantial components through the recent launch of the CarMaker 3.5 Release.

Visitors experienced new dimensions in virtual test driving

About 100 attendees met at the Open House hosted by IPG Automotive GmbH, a leading provider of simulation solutions, test systems and engineering services in Karlsruhe (Germany) on March 1st, 2011.

CarMaker 3.5 Release: new fields of application in virtual test drive

IPG Automotive GmbH, a leading provider of simulation solutions and test systems for the automobile and automotive supplier industries, will soon launch the latest version of CarMaker 3.5 – an open integration and testing platform. The release will provide more efficiency to the entire development process and will open up many new applications in the field of virtual test drive. Navigation-in-the-Loop creates the prerequisites to test and develop predictive, map-based advanced driver assistent systems and energy management systems.

CarMaker 3.5 Release: new fields of application in virtual test drive

IPG Automotive GmbH, a leading provider of simulation solutions and test systems for the automotbile and automotive supplier industries, will soon launch the latest version of CarMaker 3.5 - an open integration and testing platform. The release will provide more efficiency to the entire development process and will open up many new applications in the field of virtual test drive.

In particular, this applies to TruckMaker for heavy commercial vehicles, which builds on the CarMaker platform. TruckMaker pro4 now extends the range to clearly more demanding four-axle vehicles.

CarMaker 3.5 Release: new steering model for improved handling "feel"

IPG Automotive GmbH, a leading provider of simulation solutions and test systems for the automotbile and automotive supplier industries, will soon launch the latest version of CarMaker 3.5 - an open integration and testing platform. The release will provide more efficiency to the entire development process and will open up many new applications in the field of virtual test driving.

The new steering model makes a major contribution to theses capabilities. In the future, driving with the "SensoWheel" steering simulator will deliver highly realistic steering and handling "feel" - as confirmed by numerous test users.
