New virtual vehicle development software
IPG Automotive (Shanghai) Co Ltd
As a leader in virtual test driving technology, IPG Automotive develops simulation solutions for vehicle development. Designed for seamless use, the software and hardware products for autonomous vehicles, ADAS, powertrain and vehicle dynamics can be applied throughout the entire development process, from proof of concept to validation and release.
IPG Automotive’s CarMaker, TruckMaker and MotorcycleMaker software solutions were specifically designed for the development and testing of passenger cars, light-duty vehicles, trucks and two-wheelers. They allow for the transfer of real test scenarios, including the entire environment, into the virtual world with a high level of detail.
The release 10.0 of the CarMaker product family offers a variety of new and improved applications for virtual vehicle development. With MovieNX, virtualized test scenarios achieve a completely new level of visualization while being highly performant in complex scenarios. New functions also enable more detailed scenario generation.
With the release of 10.0, MovieNX becomes a regular feature of the CarMaker product family. Users can visualize existing test runs as well as highly complex new scenarios directly in the Scenario Editor. The successor to the well-known IPGMovie enables photo-realistic 3D visualizations in real-time and HDR, for example of special weather or light conditions such as fog, low sun in the sky or reflections, as well as artificial light in the dark. MovieNX allows testing of camera-based advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving functions at a whole new level, and also training and validation of algorithms based on artificial intelligence. Thanks to the openness and seamlessness of the CarMaker simulation solution, real camera systems can easily be integrated and reproducible tests of autonomous driving scenarios performed via corresponding interfaces.
