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.

Why should I participate in this event?

• Tailor-made event: A unique event with target-oriented issues and practical experiences for people involved with development methodology in vehicle and powertrain development.
• Comprehensive and compact: Get up-to-date in just two days and find out about new trends and developments in development methodology.
• First-hand theoretical and practical knowledge: Learn more and directly from the users about development methods and how to adapt the methods to changing requirements.
• Starting and expanding networks: Take the opportunity to get in touch with selected professionals and establish contacts. A network for professional exchange and career development that you can come back on!
• Key issues and discussion platform with relevance for users and managers in vehicle and powertrain development
