IPG CarMaker
The Open Integration and Test Platform
Overview
IPG CarMaker is a comprehensive simulation solution for virtual test driving. It enables engineers to develop, test, and validate everything from individual vehicle components to entire systems in a realistic virtual environment. CarMaker is used across the entire development process, from model-in-the-loop (MIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL).
✨ Key Features
- High-fidelity vehicle dynamics models
- Realistic 3D environment and sensor simulation
- Traffic simulation
- Test automation and management
- Support for a wide range of interfaces and standards (FMI, OpenDRIVE, OpenSCENARIO)
- Real-time simulation for HIL and VIL
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Open and flexible integration platform
- Seamless workflow from MIL to VIL
- Strong focus on test automation and virtual validation
Unique Value: Enables the efficient and comprehensive testing of autonomous driving functions in a virtual environment, covering the entire development process from early concept to final validation.
