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:
 

Model-as-code workflows

Model-as-code workflows

Use models-as-code to automate code generation and fully integrate test cycles for complete control and repeatability needed for safety assessments and approvals of course with AUTOSAR and Adaptive AUTOSAR support.

Modular and scalable middleware solution

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

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.

Continuous testing in the cloud

Continuous testing in the cloud

Use SIMPHERA, the cloud-based scalable simulation and validation tool, to test traffic scenarios repeatedly with different parameters to find the best code for your system under test (SUT).

Generic information: Continuous testing
Continuous integration pipeline for HIL testing

Continuous integration pipeline for HIL testing

Set up a continuous integration (CI) pipeline to validate the system under test (SUT) through real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, e.g., with Jenkins and Git.

Generic information: Continuous integration
Digital loop and SOTA update

Digital loop and SOTA update

Ensure continuous software over the air (SOTA) updates and digital homologation of vehicles based on UNECE WP29 and legal requirements regarding autonomous driving functions.

Generic information: Digital loop and SOTA
Connectivity testing

Connectivity testing

Evaluate the connectivity requirements in simulated 5G/LTE environments.

Generic information: Connectivity
Secure service-oriented communication

Secure service-oriented communication

Simulate different service-based Ethernet types, integrate functional safety and vehicle safety, support security features, and provide open solutions for ISO 21434 and UNECE WP29 compliance.
