A number of global drivers, including increasingly stringent safety and emissions standards, and the call for autonomous driving with a connected powertrain, demand that we find new methodologies for vehicle development. In this free 60-minute webinar, experts from AVL will present and discuss real life examples and application scenarios of a consistent model-based development approach that combines advanced simulation and modelling technologies with lab, testbed and on-road tests. Josko Balic and Klaus Rothbart, Product Manager at AVL, will explain why it is essential for the validation environment to ensure seamless transition from the virtual to the real world; they will also discuss automated testing and optimisation, the need for consistent data handling along the entire process, and why it is crucial to be open for new, dynamic models and new testing and evaluation techniques.
