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.

    The In-Time project is looking at the effect that multi-modal real-time traveller information services can have of reducing transport's energy consumption levels. By Martin Böhm, AustriaTech GmbH. Around the world, significant research and development effort is currently directed towards reducing energy consumption by addressing those areas where the biggest savings can be expected. European studies have shown that the transport sector has the potential to reduce its energy consumption by up to 26 per cent

    January 28, 2019
    Waymo, the company that began as Google’s driverless car project, has pledged to open a facility in Michigan, US, to produce advanced autonomous vehicles (AVs). In a statement, Waymo insisted: “This will be the world’s first factory 100% dedicated to the mass production of Level 4 AVs.” Level 4 automation means that no human interaction is required, and the vehicle is able to adjust in the case of things going wrong – but there is an option for manual override. This is still some way from Level 5, in
