PTV Vissim Automotive
Automotive Testing andTraffic Simulation
The microscopic traffic simulation PTV Vissim has proven itself
for many years as a development tool in automotiveengineering. It enables you to build up a responsive digitaltest environment for vehicles of all kinds. The software
provides realistic, reactive, and behavior model-basedsurrounding traffic to enable closed-loop testing in extensive
virtual test drives.
The traffic scene evolves dynamically based on the interactionsof road users with each other and with the traffic network toenable exploratory testing without the need to predefine
specific scenarios. The microscopic simulation allows for full
reproducibility of a specific test drive or infinite, automaticallygenerated variations of it.

Use Cases
Powertrain Development and Testing

Development of ADAS and AV Software

Go beyond standard test cycles or a simple replay of
a load profile: Stop-and-go traffic with frequent
acceleration and braking, driving up a hill, narrowcurves, or speeding on a highway – Vissim
Automotive allows you to simulate situations likethese in a dynamic virtual testing environment, toreproduce them, and to repeat them with changing
variables. Such tests are essential in the powertrain
development to ensure that your components andyour control strategy provide the highest real-world
value to your customers.

With Vissim Automotive, you can develop, test,
validate, and optimize functionalities of Advanced
Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated
Vehicle (AV) functions. The software creates realistic
surrounding traffic that can be coupled withdetailed vehicle simulation tools from third-party
providers. Vissim Automotive has interfaces to all
major industry solutions, e.g. IPG CarMaker, Virtual
Test Drive, dSpace ASM, and Simcenter PreScan,
enabling comprehensive co-simulations that take all
aspects of vehicle interactions into account. The
dynamic traffic environment will challenge thefunctionality of your system under test. You caneasily increase the aggressiveness of thesurrounding traffic or add driver errors to provide
more challenging situations in your virtual testdrive.
PTV Vissim Automotive can further be used for
virtual scenario mining through an explorative
search for challenging test situations for yourdriving function.

PTV Vissim Automotive can be integrated withdifferent XiL set-ups and thus supports Model in theLoop (MiL), Software in the Loop (SiL), as well as
Hardware in the Loop (HiL) testing.
