AVL VSM is a comprehensive and flexible real-time simulation software designed for the development and optimization of vehicle characteristics and driving behavior. It allows engineers to consider vehicle dynamics alongside energy efficiency from the initial concept phase through to testing. The software provides validated vehicle models and a unique Vehicle Model Factory (VMF), enabling the creation of virtual prototypes based on road data and key parameters. By using AVL VSM, users can predict vehicle behavior, reduce the number of physical prototypes needed, and optimize vehicle attributes holistically. The non-linear multi-body approach accurately represents longitudinal, lateral, and vertical dynamic effects, making it suitable for both office environments and real-time testing. Features:

• Vehicle Model Factory: Create virtual vehicle prototypes quickly based on road measurements, reducing component testing efforts.
• Track and Environment Creation: Simulate realistic 3D driving environments to predict vehicle behavior in various scenarios.
• Vehicle Controls: Utilize a range of integrated virtual vehicle controls adaptable to specific vehicle requirements.
• Validated Vehicle Models: Ensure accurate predictions and easy model setup with reliable vehicle data.
• Comprehensive Simulation: Enable application from target definition to real-time calibration and testing.
