The development and testing of modern propulsion systems is an increasingly challenging task. In addition to complexity, the technical diversity of drive systems is also growing. Hybrids, battery-electric drives, and fuel cells are expanding the spectrum beyond gasoline and diesel engines.
But that’s not all, there is also a strong need to pull tasks forward in the development process. Virtualization plays a decisive role in this.
Full leverage of the potential of a test lab
A modern testing facility represents a significant investment. Only if utilized to its full potential with regards to capability and capacity the return of invest is maximized.
Optimal preparation of testing environment
A modern testbed often consists of a large number of subsystems which have to interact seamlessly. Integrating these separate systems into a single solution is a challenge.
Efficient test preparation and execution
Robust testing routines which not only enable unmanned operation but are also runtime-optimized, are the basis for high productivity in the test lab. State-of- the-art development methodology requires excellent data quality to be achieved.
Facility standards and common data structure
Interchangeability within a test laboratory or across sites is desired to increase flexibility in test planning. Maintaining a standard that is easy to manage and administrate is an ongoing task. With a view to data analytics and big data, a common data structure is of particular importance.
Based on customer requirements, the engineers of our global AVL Application Support team develop efficient testing applications. Thanks to their high level of solution expertise - combining powertrain, simulation, and testing know-how - they are best equipped to adapt state-of-the-art methodology and automation strategies (incl. data post-processing), perform standard application tasks and maximize achievable results using existing test equipment. Through AVL Application Support, you also benefit from exclusive expertise in AVL testing technology. This partnership gives you the confidence to meet the demanding requirements of today's propulsion system development.
On-site
An AVL application engineer comes on-site to the customer for the time required to develop and integrate the application. The setup of all necessary subsystems and an introduction to the use of the application are part of the service provision, documentation is also prepared and handed over.
Remote
Applications can also be developed remotely. Either the customer can grant access to a development environment or one of our development environments will be configured accordingly. The application will be provided as a package including documentation and setup instructions.
Off-the-shelf Applications
For specific use-cases off-the-shelf applications are available. These applications range from post-processing and automation applications, via simulation models to entire test-libraries. All these come as packages including documentation and installation instructions.
