Driver in the Loop The concept of driving simulators emerged in the 1930’s for research on traffic safety. The concept shown here by DeSilva in 1936 is already close to some simulators used these days. At the time, the idea was already to bring the…
Can you introduce yourself? I am Valérie Dognin, I’m Product Owner at AVSimulation for 3 years. I am in charge of SCANeR Roadmap and more particularly on Terrain and Visual subjects. Can you give us a quick and simple definition of OpenDRIVE? OpenDRIVE (Open Dynamic…
Before simulation, validation of new systems under test (complete vehicles, ADAS command law, headlights, etc.) were only physical tests, which means that we deployed several versions of prototypes on a track in order to make sure that the behavior is what was expected. The aim…
Autonomous vehicles are real. Combination of different sensors (cameras, radars or LiDAR) allow vehicles to take its environment (weather, other vehicles, pedestrian, etc.) into account and therefore accelerate, turn, break autonomously. Automotive simulation has become essential in order to accelerate the developments safely. Advanced driving…

In 2016, 1.35 million people were killed in road accidents worldwide, compared to 1.15 million in 2000. An increase of 17.7%. At the same time the number of car registrations increased by 2.5 times (from 0.8 to 2 billion). This relatively low inflation can be…
Global warming is a major issue, probably the most complex problem humanity has had to solve since the dawn of civilization. The complexity comes from the fact that it implies a radical change in the whole range of human activities, especially the activities related to…
