SIMULATING A FASTER ROUTE to ADAS and AV validation

With its new cloud-based Simphera platform, dSpace responds to demand from global automated-vehicle development teams to help manage their expanding, complex workload.

Already a well-known provider of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) systems, dSpace has launched a new scalable, cloud-based simulation platform called Simphera, designed to speed development of automated and autonomous vehicles by managing computation-intensive validation of their driving functions. Its web interface and cloud architecture are geared towards global development teams, and the sim features reusable models and scenarios to permit continuous testing on SIL and HIL platforms.

The Paderborn, Germany-based dSpace is responding to growing demand within the advanced automated-driving systems (ADAS) and autonomous-vehicle (AV) development communities to help manage the number of tests that require large and scalable computing infrastructures. The new sim platform also serves the increase in virtual tests frontloaded into earlier phases of ADAS and AV development.
