How can you speed up commercial vehicle development and testing?
dSPACE offers comprehensive and scalable solutions for developing and testing modern commercial vehicles. From software-defined vehicle architectures and electrified powertrains to automated driving functions: We support you throughout the entire development lifecycle.
With data-driven, AI-supported development and highly efficient test methods, you can manage growing software complexity, shorten development cycles, and meet functional safety and cybersecurity requirements with confidence.
A modular and scalable tool chain covers virtual validation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and system integration, helping innovative commercial vehicle technologies reach the market faster and more reliably.
AI-Supported Development for Higher Test Efficiency
Artificial intelligence plays a key role in improving development and validation efficiency. AI-supported methods help optimize test coverage and automate validation processes for complex software functions.
By shifting testing to an earlier stage in the development process through virtualization, simulation, and data-driven approaches, companies can significantly increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve software quality. Validation no longer happens downstream but directly during code development, enabled by the right virtualization and seamlessly integrated automation. This is especially valuable for software-defined vehicles with frequent updates and continuous integration.
