To develop electronic control units (ECUs) for automatic transmission, Volvo Cars has for the first time used a model-based development concept to develop gearshift strategies, and interlinked the subsequent development steps. The tool chain consists of two important products from dSPACE: 

  • MicroAutoBox as the proven in-vehicle solution for prototyping.
  • TargetLink as a reliable production code generator for gearshift strategies.
