We held an exhibition with the theme of "V-shaped model development support solution"

Automotive Software Expo was held at Pacifico Yokohama for three days from November 15th to 17th, 2023. Our Macnica booth received a large number of visitors.We would like to thank all of our customers for visiting our booth. In this column, we would like to once again introduce the contents of the exhibition at our booth.

V-shaped model development support solution

We provide in-vehicle development support solutions that follow the V-shaped model development adopted as an in-vehicle development process model.

We propose cutting-edge technology solutions suitable for each phase of development, implementation, and verification.

development

simulation tool

Simulation validation is already an important part of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and AD (autonomous driving) software development. Such virtual tests can complement traditional proving grounds and public road tests. Virtualizing parts of the AD authentication process can overcome various physical testing limitations. Benefits include test repeatability, increased number of test scenarios, safer technical evaluation, and significant cost and time savings. Verifying the proper operation of AD software using traditional testing methods can take years or even decades. aiSim 4 provides an ideal test environment to check and validate AD system performance in high mileage tests and harsh driving scenarios. In particular, we focus on virtual high-fidelity sensor data.

sensor solution

The development of sensor technology in automobiles has been remarkable in recent years, and sensor technology has become indispensable for realizing automobile driving support, automatic control systems, and highly autonomous driving.
As vehicle systems become more complex due to improvements in the performance of various sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and millimeter wave radar, as well as an increase in the types and number of sensors installed, the importance of subsequent software development is increasing. Additionally, the difficulty of developing, evaluating, and verifying software algorithms involved in sensor development is increasing year by year, and the amount of time required is increasing. the Company support mobility development by providing perception software, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) software, and tools necessary for developing the functions of in-vehicle sensors such as LiDAR and cameras. We will contribute to shortening lead time.

Implementation

real-time OS

As automobile functionality becomes more sophisticated, the software installed in the vehicle is becoming more important. In-vehicle systems are mission-critical systems that require high reliability and high availability. QNX real-time OS has a unique microkernel structure that places applications, driver protocol stacks, etc. outside the kernel, so even if a problem occurs, the impact on the kernel itself is minimal, making it ideal for applications that require high availability. It's an OS.

fast build tools

Incredibuild is a solution that dynamically allocates CPU resources on-premises or in the cloud to distribute and optimize processing. Additionally, reusing cached build output significantly reduces build time. By spending more time testing, you can improve quality and shorten development cycles. Incredibuild also works on your current tools. There is no need to change your current development environment (code, processes, tools).

inspection

Telemetry and calibration solutions

In the automotive industry, which is undergoing major changes, the amount of data required for development is increasing day by day, and it takes time to store, manage, share data with each site, and post-process the data. intdash telemetry integrates multiple sensor data and uploads data to the cloud in real time. This significantly reduces work time. Bidirectional communication also enables remote calibration to change ECU values remotely. This greatly reduces the burden on engineers who go to work on site.
