Whether it’s autonomous functions, electrification, or software-defined systems: dSPACE offers end-to-end solutions for the development, simulation, and testing of off-highway machines. Our scalable systems help manufacturers and suppliers bring innovative features to market faster, more safely, and more cost-effectively – even under extreme operating conditions. dSPACE supports the development and validation of off-highway vehicles and mobile machines throughout the entire development cycle.

dSPACE for Off-Highway: Simulation and Testing from a Single Source

Off-highway vehicles operate under particularly demanding conditions – from agriculture and construction to mining. At the same time, requirements are increasing due to:

  • Automation and autonomous work processes
  • AI-defined and software-defined functions
  • Electrification and new powertrain systems
  • Complex E/E architectures
dSPACE enables an end-to-end tool chain for simulation, validation, and testing:
  • Virtual development and simulation
  • Software-in-the-loop (SIL)
  • Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and power HIL
  • Vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL)
  • Data-driven test and validation approaches

Our Services for Off-Highway Applications

With decades of experience in simulation and testing, dSPACE supports off-highway projects throughout the entire development cycle. Our solutions help you manage complexity, validate innovations faster, and sustainably improve quality.

From the early concept phase to validation in a system context, we offer tailored solutions that specifically support your development and test processes.

Solutions for Off-Highway Industries

The off-highway sector is diverse – and each industry has its own technical and regulatory requirements. dSPACE addresses these specific requirements with customizable and proven solutions.

Agriculture

Agriculture

Modern agricultural machinery is becoming increasingly automated, connected, and electrified. dSPACE supports the development and validation of intelligent functions – from driver assistance and autonomous work processes to energy-efficient drive systems. Simulation and HIL testing enable reproducible testing under realistic field conditions – regardless of season or location.

Mining

Mining

In mining, machines are subjected to extreme conditions and often operate in partially or fully automated scenarios. dSPACE solutions enable the safe development and validation of robust control and automation functions – from virtual validation to system testing in the lab.

Contact
Construction

Construction

Construction machinery must operate precisely, efficiently, and reliably – often in coordination with multiple systems and sensors. Simulation and HIL testing enable complex workflows, assistance functions, and new drive concepts to be validated early on and developed efficiently.

Development support from start to finish

Development support from start to finish

Developing complex E/E systems and software with ever more safety-critical functions, especially in the area of autonomous systems, raises the question of guaranteeing function reliability. That's why dSPACE offers end-to-end expertise in functional safety, test strategy development as well as verification and validation in complex E/E processes - to support you from the earliest project stages to homologation.

dSPACE systems are easy to get up and running – however, if a project is more complex, if individual solutions are needed or if there is high time pressure, you can also trust dSPACE's fast, competent and reliable engineering services.
