The company implemented VI-CarRealTime, a state-of-the-art real-time vehicle simulation platform provided by VI-grade, at its Brembo Coding Hublocated in Sunnyvale, California.
This technology is pivotal in Brembo’s quest to optimise the virtual testing of new control software functions.
VI-CarRealTime offers a high-fidelity simulation environment that enables Brembo’s engineers to conduct virtual tests on control logics before advancing to comprehensive on-vehicle testing.
This approach is instrumental in reducing the time spent on setting up new vehicle dynamics simulations and shortening the development cycles, thereby expediting the controls development process.
VI-grade EMEA and North America vice president Sales Alessio Lombardi said: “VI-CarRealTime offers a single, customisable vehicle model for concept through sign-off, enabling rapid model configuration and seamless integration with third-party tools.
“It’s designed to speed up development cycles and improve collaboration across teams – a perfect fit for the agile and innovative environment of the Brembo Coding Hub.”
Brembo Coding Hub coordinator Alessandro Bertagna added:“The adoption of VI-CarRealTime enables us to develop and validate control logics in a virtual environment, significantly reducing time-to-test and supporting our goal of creating smarter, more responsive braking systems. We look forward to leveraging the tool’s full capabilities to enhance our control development workflow.”
