Cyber-Physical Approach in the Automotive Industry: Stepping into the Future of Model-Based DevelopmentSINGAPORE, Nov. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Model-based development (MBD), a method of testing complicated interactions among software as a simulated system using virtual recreations of mechanics, is becoming increasingly popular within the manufacturing sector, especially the automotive industry. Find out how Toshiba is applying a cyber-physical approach to MBD to help organisations build transformative and sustainable solutions for cost and productivity efficiencies.

Toshiba's Distributed Co-Simulation Platform, with its cyber-physical approach, has the potential to revolutionise what can be achieved, and subsequently simplify these challenges facing automotive companies today. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are defined as those which collect real-world data and analyse it within cyber or digital environments – using technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) – before then applying the learnings back within the physical world to create added value. By deploying a CPS approach to MBD, Toshiba's platform has essentially evolved this technique to a new level of large-scale simulations which connect multiple models – owned by different automakers and parts suppliers – within a single digital testing environment. The solution allows automakers to build a fully virtual prototype of the car, enabling them to perform the necessary verifications of today's complex automotive control systems much earlier in the process – and in turn, significantly improve quality and productivity. Connections between different suppliers can be automated to reduce man-hours, while simulations can be executed via the cloud to reduce latency and considerably accelerate the wider verification process. A joint approach to techniques such as model-based development may be a first step, but as the physical and digital worlds continue to converge, we will undoubtedly see the emergence of more cyber-physical systems transform the way in which we work and live across multiple domains.
