Macnica begins offering aiMotive's aiSim, a simulation tool with functional certification that greatly streamlines software development for autonomous driving vehicles - Improving the efficiency and competitiveness of ADAS and autonomous driving software development, shortening development periods, and reducing costs Contributing to the reduction of
Macnica (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan, Representative Director and President: Kazumasa Hara, hereinafter Macnica) has entered into a strategic partnership with aiMotive (Headquarters: Hungary Budapest, CEO: László Kishonti, hereinafter aiMotive), a Hungarian automotive development company and Tier 1 autonomous driving to offer aiSim, a simulation tool with the most stringent functional safety ISO 26262 ASIL D certification that significantly streamlines vehicle software development. In addition, we also offer a tool chain of simulators, datasets, and other tools to provide our customers with significant improvements in their development process.
Simulation has become extremely important in ADAS/AD software development, which is becoming increasingly sophisticated these days. Conventional public road tests and physical tests have many limitations in terms of various weather conditions and the number of test scenarios, and require a huge amount of time for verification work. The simulation tool aiSim provided by aiMotive provides the latest rendering technology, high-fidelity sensor simulation, and a wealth of assets for 3D environments, and improves test repeatability, expands the number of test scenarios, and evaluates technology safety. Provides an excellent test environment for validating AD systems in high mileage tests and harsh driving scenarios. This can significantly reduce the time and cost required for verification work.
■Characteristics of aiSim
| Realistic environment/weather simulation | All kinds of weather conditions can be recreated using ray tracing rendering technology and particle simulation. |
| physically based sensor | A built-in sensor library containing physics-based sensor models such as cameras, lidar, radar, ultrasound, GPS, and IMUs is available to build complex simulation environments. |
| Cloud-native UI and open SDK | Ensure smooth UX with cloud-native UI. By providing an SDK, developers can take full advantage of simulation functions. |
| scenario template | Over 1500 predefined scenarios available for verification and validation. Generate scenarios using different methods such as random, fixed, and Monte Carlo sampling. |
| Rich 3D assets | Various vehicle models including over 60 pre-built vehicle models. Models such as pedestrians, cyclists, and wheelchairs, as well as third-party assets, can be integrated. Various pre-built maps covering the driving area are also available. |
| ISO26262 ASIL D certified | The world's first ISO26262 ASIL D certified simulator provides high reliability in verification and validation. |
Additionally, aiSim supports collaboration and integration with various tools such as Matlab/Simulink, matlab/road runner, and Unreal Engine5, allowing you to run aiSim's excellent simulations in your environment. Furthermore, industry standard formats such as OpenDrive, Open Scenario, OSI, and ROS are also supported as interfaces, allowing you to utilize existing assets.
