aiSim 5 stands out as the first ISO26262 ASIL-D certified simulator tool designed for validating ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) and AD (Automated Driving) technologies. This simulator offers an unparalleled environment for testing automated driving systems, utilizing a highly optimized sensor simulation framework which ensures robust performance in runtime. Its advanced rendering engine produces realistic and deterministic environments, bypassing limitations typically found in game engine simulators. This tool is pivotal for car manufacturers as it enhances the reliability and safety of automated driving solutions.
aiSim 5 boasts a flexible architecture that integrates smoothly with existing toolchains, encouraging a reduction in costly real-road testing. It focuses significantly on multi-sensor simulation, supporting diverse weather conditions and complex driving scenarios, which are essential for developing adaptive driving systems. This simulation environment allows for high mileage tests, vital for understanding and improving the effectiveness of driving systems in various settings.
Additionally, aiSim 5 supports the creation of digital twin 3D environments that replicate real-world locations accurately. This enables a high-fidelity simulation of operational design domains, from highways to urban settings. aiSim's capability to simulate adverse scenarios such as snowstorms or heavy rain showcases its comprehensive approach to ensuring that AD systems are tested under every possible real-world condition.
