The Transportation and Mobility industry is undergoing a revolution. Electric drive, autonomous vehicles and smart roads all promise to make personal transportation cleaner and safer, while onboard connectivity and infotainment make the passenger experience more comfortable. In this month’s SIMULIA newsletter, you’ll find information about our simulation solutions for meeting the challenges these new technologies pose, as well as about our upcoming conferences.

NEWS

The rise of autonomous vehicles and ridesharing mean the passenger experience is firmly in the driving seat for vehicle design. Climate control, noise and seat design all need to be optimized to maximise comfort, safety and energy efficiency – especially for electric vehicles. The hyper-connected world meanwhile makes increasingly heavy demands on on-board computers and wireless internet. Bringing a vehicle successfully to market means not only meeting all the regulatory requirements for safety and energy efficiency, but also crafting a passenger experience that sets it apart from competitor’s offerings.
