Application Areas
AURELION allows for precise sensor environment simulation, offers models for different sensor types, and is suitable for a wide range of use cases and configurations. It can be used throughout various phases of development, for example, in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests, software-in-the-loop (SIL) tests, vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) tests, and for parallel validation in the cloud.
Key Benefits
The 3-D rendering engine, the high-precision dSPACE simulation models, realistic 3-D assets, and high-resolution material information allow for the accurate simulation of automotive sensors and environments under different weather and lighting conditions. AURELION marks a significant advancement and more than replaces the previous MotionDesk and Sensor Simulation software. It combines numerous features in a single product. The solution lets you integrate third-party sensor models and will soon offer Linux and Docker support. It can be integrated with many other dSPACE tools, such as ASM, VEOS, RTMaps, the Environment Sensor Interface (ESI) Unit, SIMPHERA, and even custom code.
This package, made by B-Design3D, includes a Geo typical downtown block with a few types of roads, including a boulevard with a roundabout, various intersections with traffic signs, traffic lights, one way street, parallel parking and a parking lot.
