System Architecture

The development of embedded software for AD systems begins by creating an architecture model of the automated driving system in Ansys SCADE. This intuitive modeling tool generates a system-level architectural model that graphically shows the main function blocks for the AD system.

Software Integration

Ansys closed loop simulator solution, with APIs and middleware, enables auto-generation of safety-certified code that is target compatible for RTOS integration.

Model-based Software Development

SCADE model-based software solutions answer this pressing need for AD developers. From designing control systems to automatic code generation for industry standards such as ISO 26262 and DO-178C.

SiL, HiL and DiL Verification

SCADE and the Ansys VRXPERIENCE Driving Simulator powered by SCANeR support all testing and verification activities for the AD embedded software model.

Featured Products

Safe System Design and Autonomous Vehicle Software Development

How can autonomous development teams working on L3+ systems ensure that they are safer than a human driver while affordable for the business model? For a sustainable business model solution, an intensive trade-off between performance and safety is required in AD system development.

Ansys Autonomy: Automating Embedded Planning and Controls via Model-based Software Solutions

Higher levels of autonomy are requiring OEMs and their suppliers to adapt to the latest technologies as quickly as possible and to understand and transition to a new type of decision-making — from the human to the machine. However, in this world of disruptive innovation, two key concepts lag: demonstrating safety and development efficiency.
