Software-defined vehicles (SDV) are transforming the automotive industry, offering more flexibility, efficiency, and adaptability than ever before. Wouldn't it be great if we could make this transformation safe, secure, and efficient, to reliably and fully integrate these vehicles into our digital lives?
What is an SDV?
The electrical architecture of an SDV is fundamentally different from that of a conventional vehicle. SDVs consist of one or more high-performance computers (HPC) and multiple zonal controllers and their application layer is separated from the hardware layer by a vehicle operating system (middleware). This allows the software to be flexibly expanded and adapted. Software updates are continuously received over the air (OTA) so that the vehicle's functions and capabilities can be constantly updated and improved. An SDV is upgradeable and maintainable throughout its lifecycle.
However, the increasing volume and complexity of software requires a new approach to its development and validation, and to ensuring vehicle safety and security. For example, cloud-native design paradigms are used throughout the development process. We are your partner to overcome these challenges with our solutions.
Let us convince you of our competencies
For decades, we have been one of the world's leading companies in the field of simulation and validation. During this time, we have continually provided the appropriate tools for all new technological achievements. Trust in our competence also for the development of your SDV and use our open but integrated solutions.
In these areas, we are at your side:

Modular and scalable middleware solution
Real-time Multisensor Applications (RTMaps) Runtime is ISO 26262-certified and supports the Data Distribution Service (DDS), which enables reliable cross-domain communication and data sharing for safety-critical applications, effectively providing a middleware.

Cross-domain SIL testing
Use VEOS, the PC-based software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulation platform, to integrate and test heterogeneous systems under test (SUT), models, and tools in one simulation. With high performance computing (HPC) on, for example, ARM and together with the strong capabilities of VEOS to simulate Zonal and Edge controllers, you can simulate complex systems that include all types of controllers of current and future E/E architectures in one simulation in the cloud.

Unterstützung bei der Entwicklung von Anfang bis Ende
Die Entwicklung komplexer E/E-Systeme und Software mit immer mehr sicherheitskritischen Funktionen, insbesondere im Bereich autonomer Systeme, wirft die Frage auf, wie die Funktionssicherheit garantiert werden kann. Deshalb bietet dSPACE umfassendes Know-how in den Bereichen funktionale Sicherheit, Teststrategieentwicklung sowie Verifikation und Validierung komplexer E/E-Prozesse, um Sie von den ersten Projektphasen bis zur Homologation zu unterstützen.
dSPACE Systeme sind einfach einzurichten und in Betrieb zu nehmen. Wenn Projekte jedoch komplexer werden, maßgeschneiderte Lösungen notwendig sind oder der Zeitdruck hoch ist, können Sie sich auch auf die schnellen und kompetenten Engineering Services von dSPACE verlassen.
