First open-source #digitaltwin for mobility systems testing unveiled by Mcity The first open-source digital twin of the Mcity Test Facility, the University of Michigan’s proving ground for connected and autonomous vehicles and technologies, is now available to the public. The new #Mcity digital twin, developed with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), is said to be the first open-source digital twin for mobility systems testing, including autonomous driving. "This takes our almost 10-year-old track and puts the digital replica directly over it. That’s a living, breathing manifestation of that physical track where people can do mixed reality testing and development," said Greg Stevens at Mcity. "You can drive millions of miles in your AV in a digital twin built off of a real-world environment before your AV actually touches the real world," noted Darian Hogue, an Mcity software engineer who helped develop the digital twin. "What differentiates the Mcity digital twin is that it supports virtual testing, while remote use involves testing a physical vehicle at our physical test track from a remote location," said Mcity director Henry Liu, professor of civil and environmental engineering and the Bruce D Greenshields Collegiate Professor.

ASAM e.V. International Conference 2024 focuses on accelerating engineering for mobility The sixth biennial #ASAM International Conference was held in #Munich, Germany, on December 4-5, 2024, with ASAM vision’s ‘Accelerate engineering for mobility’ underpinning an event that delved into the future of automotive #engineering and how standards facilitate interoperability, data exchange and toolchain integration, thereby improving processes and providing value. For this year’s program, ASAM expanded the scope beyond #ADAS/AD to address a wider range of ASAM standards, exploring topics ranging from early-stage development to real-time interaction during operation, encompassing critical aspects such as over-the-air (OTA) updates and diagnostics. ASAM CEO Marius Dupuis said, “We try to get everyone to talk to each other and exchange ideas. ASAM is pre-competitive. You can compete outside ASAM’s doors, but here it's all about cooperation.” Speakers included BMW Group, Porsche Engineering, 51Sim, Akkodis, Deontic, AVL, TIER IV and the Bavarian State Chancellery.  Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ekcg2qtt #Automotive #AutomotiveTesting #Engineering #AutomotiveIndustry #AutomotiveEngineering #Mobility #Technology #Transportation #AutoTestMag #AutoTestExpo #AutoTestNovi #AutoTestEurope #AutoTestIndia #AutoTestChina #AutoTestKorea #ukimediaevents
