VI-grade has announced an expanded collaboration with Applus+ IDIADA. This partnership introduces IDIADA’s high-fidelity vehicle models – accurate digital twins based on real-world test data – into VI-grade’s VI-CarRealTime (a real-time vehicle simulation environment utilizing a single simplified vehicle model) software for advanced simulation and testing capabilities.
The collaboration represents a significant step forward in virtual vehicle development, enabling automotive OEMs and suppliers to use IDIADA’s validated vehicle models in both offline and online simulations on driving simulators through the VI-CarRealTime platform. These models, derived from physical vehicle testing, allow manufacturers to perform in-depth virtual evaluations of vehicle dynamics and performance with customizable parameters such as tire models and payloads, ensuring more flexible and accurate development workflows.
