Virtual Testing Series

Virtual Testing #4: Applications, Methods and Processes

The event Applications and Methods in Virtual Development is the starting point for a new series on virtual development in the year 2025. Today, the first tests in the area of consumer protection testing can be conducted virtually. Legal requirements such as UN R157 at least mention this possibility.

The event Applications and Methods in Virtual Development will discuss the basic approach of virtual testing and challenges in the process. Validation is central to ensuring that virtual methods produce correct results. But how does validation work, when is a model well validated? How do you ensure that simulation models deliver accurate results at operating points that cannot be represented in the real test? What methods are required by legal requirements in order to approve vehicles in the future? Are these comparable with consumer protection testing requirements? How are large data sets managed, how are IT systems processes mapped?
