You can efficiently test the entire vehicle system using a virtual environment at all stages of the development V-cycle!
CarMaker, TruckMaker, and MotorcycleMaker provided by IPG Automotive enable virtual testing from the early stages before the development of physical prototypes, incorporating both virtual components and physical components into virtual prototypes. Additionally, they support various standards, specifications, and interfaces, allowing for quick and easy integration of the simulation environment into existing tool environments. The results of the simulations are automated and reproducible. 【Features】 ■ Simulation possible in an office environment (on PC) ■ Significant time savings through real-time simulation ■ Reduction in man-hours ■ System verification of the entire vehicle before prototype creation *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Various tools are being developed to realize model-based development. In automotive development, verification and testing using prototype vehicles are significantly constrained by time and cost, and although the importance of verification is increasing with the complexity of vehicle systems, it is difficult to rely solely on verification environments at the vehicle level. IPG Automotive provides a simulation environment for one vehicle, called the "Virtual Test Driving" platform, which can be utilized by all engineers involved in vehicle development from the early stages of the development process. Our company was established in 1984 as a spin-off from Karlsruhe University (now Karlsruhe Institute of Technology). The mission established at the time of founding, to balance vehicle simulation and real-time computation, continues to this day, emphasizing the coupling of driver models and environment models, and is designed based on maneuver testing rooted in driver operation. Our platform is equipped with sensor models that are essential for recent ADAS/AD development, enabling virtual closed-loop verification that includes the vehicle, environment (roads and traffic flow), and driver.
