Physics-based vehicle simulation is required for many applications, including vehicle design and controller development for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) systems. The accuracy and validity of simulation results depend on the accuracy of vehicle models used in simulation.

Challenges

CarSim is an automotive dynamics simulation tool that enables users to study the dynamic behaviors of passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks. With a 3D multi-body dynamics model, CarSim simulates accurate physics of how a real-world vehicle responds to driver controls. CarSim also includes numerous vehicles, roads, and test maneuvers used in hundreds of datasets to assist first-time users.
