Main topics of this event

• Development methodology from theory and practice of vehicle and powertrain development (simulation, approach, calibration, modeling and optimization, data post processing, etc.)
• Virtualization and digitalization in terms of pure simulation and with regard to interlinking of simulation with topics of application, vehicle or system testing, e.g. innovative approaches of co-simulation in the vehicle area in combination with testbed technology
• Development methodology for current legislative or technology issues, e.g. RDE (Real Driving Emissions), challenges due to increasing electrification or ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
• Methodical approaches in the area of data pre-processing, e.g. methodical approaches in terms of data evaluation – keyword: data analytics
• Application of OEM real world experience will be featured throughout the program, such as process issues to increase efficiency in vehicle development and introduction of development methodology.
