Jaguar uses PTV microsimulation tool for C/AV concepts

Jaguar Land Rover is using PTV’s Vissim, a multi-modal microsimulation tool to simulate and test connected and automated vehicle (C/AV) concepts. Vissim can be used for the modelling of multi-modal urban or motorway networks and for testing the design and feasibility of transport infrastructure projects. It can also be used by researchers, vehicle manufacturers, transport planners, traffic engineers and public authorities to help design future transport systems, testing the impact of C/AVs on road network

7998 Jaguar Land Rover is using 3264 PTV’s 3989 Vissim, a multi-modal microsimulation tool to simulate and test connected and automated vehicle (C/AV) concepts.

Vissim can be used for the modelling of multi-modal urban or motorway networks and for testing the design and feasibility of transport infrastructure projects. It can also be used by researchers, vehicle manufacturers, transport planners, traffic engineers and public authorities to help design future transport systems, testing the impact of C/AVs on road network capacity and operational performance.

PTV says the solution includes co-simulation, allowing Jaguar engineers to link the driving behaviours from Vissim with their vehicle dynamic algorithms, comfort and human interaction design, power train assessments and the ability to replicate real-world testing scenarios in a repeatable way.

PTV is now developing interfaces for co-simulation with advanced driver assistance systems, sensor solutions, driver dynamics, powertrain testing and human behaviours.

    Getting C/AVs from pipedream to reality
    The UK government has suggested that driverless cars could be on the roads by 2021. But designers and engineers are grappling with a number of difficult issues, muses Chris Hayhurst of MathWorks Earlier this year, the UK government made the bold statement that by 2021, driverless cars will be on the UK’s roads. But is this an achievable reality? Driverless technology already has its use cases on our roads, with levels of autonomy ranked on a scale. At one end of the spectrum, level 1 is defined by th

    Making a city smarter not only relies on understand technological opportunities but also human decision-making, as Miller Crockart explains. Cities are about people – a fact that can easily be forgotten when experts talk about roads, healthcare and education as though they are abstract and unconnected monoliths rather than things people use. Understanding how and why people use services is vital for making decisions on how they can be optimised for maximum efficiency across inter-connected networks that for
