A Roadmap
for Development
The AVL systems engineering approach ensures
goals are met from the start
AVL Systems Engineering
is supporting organizations
on their transformation
journey with outstanding
application expertise and
proven methodology.
With the arrival of connected and
autonomous driving concepts comes a
new level of complexity demand in vehi-cle
development. Through the fast pace
of interlinked technologies, highly di-versified
markets and customer profiles,
as well as frequent regulative updates,
there is little room for error. If one sys-tem
or function has an unexpected im-pact
on the performance or function of
other systems, the outcomes can be cost-ly,
hazardous, can delay time-to-market
or even damage a brand’s reputation.
At AVL we have defined Systems En-gineering
(SE), and in particular Mod-el-
Based Systems Engineering (MBSE),
as a base methodology for all product
development workstreams and the key
to structuring the complexity of vehi-cle
functions, systems, software and
hardware. It enables us to understand
their interdependencies and to cover the
needs of established OEMs or new en-trants
in the automotive markets alike.
These new functions or even complete
new mobility concepts are introduced
in the first loop of the system model to
analyse their impact on the rest of the
system, in order to define any required
