Software and ElectronicsMarket RequirementsThe key driver of all development activities today in the automotive industry is the reduction of emissions. CO2 reduction is the most discussed topic, but also other emissions as NOx and Diesel particulate matter are in the focus.
This requires the optimization of the whole powertrain, where the main components are traditionally the combustion engine and the transmission. Today it also includes an electric motor and the battery for any form of hybrid or electrical vehicle.
All these components are controlled by software and electronics. Only by using them to their fullest capabilities, the new requirements can be met and surpassed. For this it is necessary to use sophisticated but lean models of the components and the most advanced algorithms to control, to adapt, and to diagnose them over the entire service life of the vehicles.
At the same time this advanced control software must be developed and deployed not only in the shortest possible time. It also has to fulfil the highest quality standards in all aspects to be suitable for today’s fast moving and extremely demanding markets.

AVL ApproachFor AVL software is an integral part of the powertrain. That means, we do not only write code. We develop our solutions, algorithms, controllers, adaptations and models with the best engineering practices, highly integrated with our experts from the different domains within AVL and our customers. These solutions are then put to test in simulations, on rigs and on the road.
At the same time we use state-of-the-art software engineering processes to ensure high code quality, be it for prototypes or for series production. To facilitate and improve the work of our engineers we use the most modern tools, from simulation to automatic code generation.
Thus we can use the ideas from excellent engineers and cast these ideas into high quality software for our customers. |
