This Technology will Become a “Rigid Demand” for Autonomous Driving Vehicle in China.
The simulation test of autonomous driving will become an essential part of the production and access of intelligent network vehicles. The above requirements are clearly defined in the”Guidelines for the Management of Intelligent Network Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Access (Trial)” (Draft for Solicitation of Comments) (hereinafter referred to as the “Guidelines”).
Simulation Becomes the “Rigid Demand” of Intelligent Vehicle Network
The guide clearly states that the intelligent network vehicle products should “meet the test requirements of simulation at least”, which aims to verify the safety of driving automation system in typical and continuous scenarios, compliance with road traffic rule. According to the “Guidelines”, enterprises requiring admission shall have complete simulation test software and hardware tool chain and complete test scene library, submit key parameters such as vehicle dynamics and sensor model, and verify that the driving automation system conforms to safety function through continuous automatic simulation test process. As the requirement of product admittance test, simulation link has been the embodiment of industry consensus. Previously, in the”Smart Vehicle Innovation and Development Strategy” issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and other ten departments, the importance of simulation test was emphasized for many times in improving the testing evaluation technology, improving technical standards, improving simulation scenarios, closed sites, semi-open sites, public road test methods, etc.
Based on the Local Market, 51Sim-One is the First to Develop Domestic Automotive Vehicle Simulation Software
51WORLD has always taken the scientific and technological power as its research and development foothold. The Vehicle and Transportation Division has conducted research and development in the subdivision of intelligent vehicle network simulation since the end of 2017. The goal is to break the monopoly of engineering software in the automotive industry by foreign countries, fill the vacuum in relevant fields in China, and to solve the bottleneck problem of domestic enterprises to quickly build simulation environment.
Since then, 51Sim-One has carried out a long-term technology accumulation and product iteration, deeply understood the needs and pain points of each customer, and gradually built the core product functions to solve the same problems from the start of solving every small problem in the industry. At present, 51Sim-One has gradually matured its functions, improved the compatibility and standardization of data and interfaces, and formed a series of products. Currently, it includes enterprise-level single machine version, private cloud version and education version, hardware in-loop test product, vehicle in-loop test product, interactive driving product, etc.
The products serve the R & D, test evaluation and safety operation of intelligent vehicles, and provide engineering simulation software, tool chain, testing and solutions, and are incorporated into the process of vehicle R&D and testing by more enterprises.
Gaining Recognition, and Making Concerted Efforts in Industry-University-Research
After more than two years of development, more and more car enterprises, research institutes, technology companies and universities have firmly chosen 51Sim-One after repeated tests and comparisons. It is these valuable customers who provide continuous inclusion of initial products and a large number of localized and innovative applications, so that 51Sim-One product functions are closer to domestic R&D needs and scenario applications.
51WORLD is also actively participating in the construction of the industry. In 2019, the company participated in the construction of “Jiangsu Intelligent Network Automobile Innovation Center”, and sent experts to participate in the simulation standard working group at home and abroad, the software capability evaluation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the development of intelligent network vehicle technology road-map. In 2020, as a supporting unit, it participated in the task of simulation and test platform of on-board intelligent computing system of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; In the same year, it won the special fund of the common technology platform for innovation and development of intelligent Internet automobile industry in Haidian District of Beijing; As a joint unit, it applied for the industry R&D center of the Ministry of Communications and became the first provincial and ministerial key industry science and technology platform of 51WORLD. In 2021, 51WORLD will provide virtual simulation technology platform and technical support for more than 1,500 students in the “National College Student Engineering Training Comprehensive Ability Competition Intelligent Network Vehicle Simulation Test Competition”, contributing to basic education.
51WORLD will strengthen cross-testing verification between virtual and reality, open the external interface of test-type continuously, and provide the industry with available, reliable and expandable industrial simulation software around the development of the intelligent network automobile industry in China, and the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on the management of the access of intelligent network automobile manufacturers and products.
