Managing the increasing number of embedded SW Functions in a modern vehicle has become a key challenge. Another hurdle in today's vehicle development is addressing the various variants for different markets, which must be developed in even shorter cycles. Moreover, customers and governments have high expectations regarding comfort, driving pleasure, cyber security, safety, and emissions. Increasing system complexity heavily increases the number of calibration parameters. Errors must be corrected immediately upon detection to avoid disrupting the release schedule.
Therefore, the need to deliver high-quality datasets on time is a significant challenge in managing the multitude of variants in the calibration process. Expert teams are usually responsible for the parameterization of the control software, working in simulation environments, on test benches, and on test tracks. Throughout this process, numerous challenges can arise. CRETA for calibration data management considers following critical factors:
Calibration Variant Management
Major tasks are learning from historical data, storing templates, and automatically checking the consistency of different variants for outliers and calibration errors.
Traceability with Adjustable Workflows
Calibration engineers must quickly find the right targets and trace recent results to ensure their calibrations are correctly integrated into the appropriate vehicle variant release. They also need to adapt workflows to meet organizational and process needs.
Automation and Connectivity
Fast development cycles are heavily increasing the requirements for digital automation and connectivity with other systems, such as integration into modern DevOps Pipelines for the baseline for successful SDV development.
CRETA, a calibration data lifecycle management system, is designed to calibrate all vehicle controls. It can be smoothly integrated into the existing tool landscape and facilitates an agile calibration process by helping engineers perform their tasks faster and more efficiently. The development of projects and the data status of each variant is visualized, and managing, editing, organizing, and securely storing sensitive calibration data is now more efficient than ever. Engineers can also ensure that all parameters have been calibrated and checked for correctness by integrating CRETA into DevOps Pipelines. AVL addresses the issue of time-consuming decentralized data transmission and information exchange in projects.
As a centralized data management system, CRETA allows data managers to verify that all parameters match the defined series production values and are correctly assigned to the correct vehicle revision. It can be used for the calibration of numerous domains.
Conflict-Free Data Merging & Validation With Full Compliance
Enabling a seamless import of calibration data into a central data management system, fully compliant with IT security, auditability, information security, and ISO standards.
