848 Forum8 has launched its D-Box driving simulator motion software interface at ITS World Congress this week, in partnership with BMIA of Bordeaux, France. This new software plug-in is said to enhance the range of driving simulation hardware systems that can interface with the company's 3D VR driving simulation and modelling software, VR-Design Studio. D-Box allows the driver to experience true-to-life driving motion and vibrations. This capability is enabled by actuators that reproduce vehicle movement and driving sensations – including acceleration, deceleration, pitch and roll – in real time, in a virtual environment.

    UK-based Rfpro has launched a commercially available platform to train and develop autonomous vehicles (AVs) in simulation. The innovation is said to reduce the costs and time involved in developing these vehicles as well as provide a safe testing environment. The solution intends to replicate the real word to allow the various sensors of AVs to react naturally. In addition, Rfpro is producing a library of real roads created through precise scanning technology, to help form the basis of the simulation.
