Over the last few years, tractors have evolved into complex, technological and smart operating machines, capable of renewing and revolutionizing the farming procedures. The community is particularly observant to environment, health and sustainability and has launched the Green Deal with the goal of reducing drastically the pesticides and chemicals used in agriculture, among other actions contained in the Farm to Fork strategies. AgriSIm is an agricultural simulation environment that allows the co-simulation of agricultural convoy vehicle dynamics along with precision farming operations, thus replicating the smart farming routines in the virtual world.

On board motorcycles’ control logics are arising in number and complexity. It follows that testing on proving ground and/or on public roads for correct response verification becomes dangerous, difficult and time consuming. The possibility of doing most of the work indoors, in safe and repeatable conditions, exploiting the HIL approach is becoming popular. But still some limitations occur, in particular when attempting to make multiple control logics working together, with real multi-physical systems in the loop. The innovative whole motorcycle in the simulation loop empowers the investigation capability and allows a considerable reduction of on-road tests, with less risks/money/time.

Emerging automotive systems are having multiple disruptive technologies incorporated in them to provide safe and sustainable mobility. Connectivity, automation, sharing and electrification—the four technology trends that make up CASE—are widely seen as shaping the future of mobility. In combination, CASE mobility could transform almost all facets of mobility, but attempting to implement all four at once is a daunting task. Connected vehicles form the major element in the CASE mobility scenario. The mobile technology's greater throughput, availability, and reliability will enable safety-sensitive applications known as V2X, or Vehicle-to-Everything. V2X, with the help of 5G, will play a huge role in bettering traffic efficiency and reducing car-related accidents. Automated mobility in an Indian scenario stands for Driver Assistance Systems. The need for more safer vehicles, is the requirement behind the introduction of L2 and L3 features in Indian Market. ARAI is coming up with verification & validation ecosystem required for the validation of the V2X technologies, ADAS technologies using motion platform and simulation techniques and also electric vehicles.
