MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

     - aiSim and RoadRunner enable accurate 3D scenes for simulations

MathWorks, the leading developer of mathematical computing software for

engineers and scientists, and AImotive, Europe's most funded automated driving

technology supplier have begun a collaboration to integrate RoadRunner into

aiSim allowing users to easily create road and 3D networks for simulation in

aiSim – the most deterministic and robust solution on the market!

To enable end-to-end testing of automated driving software, a simulator must

include high-fidelity environment and realistic sensor simulation. To enable

this, the simulator need precise, well-defined maps and quality assets as an

input. AImotive has integrated RoadRunner [

], which is an interactive editor from MathWorks [

] that lets users design 3D scenes for simulations, into aiSim, the world's

first ISO26262 certified automotive grade simulation platform, to solve this

challenge.

The result of the collaboration provides a user-friendly way to create various

environments using RoadRunner's intuitive map editor, ranging from dense urban

scenes to compliance specific test cases.

In addition, the integration allows users to create and edit OpenDrive maps and

import GIS data and place the built-in high-fidelity assets of aiSim mixed with

RoadRunner's extensive asset library. The created content can be readily

imported to the ASIL-D certified simulator, exercising its advanced sensor

simulation capabilities.

"Automated driving engineers use virtual testing to reduce the cost and risk of

in-vehicle testing. To achieve the most benefit from virtual testing, engineers

need to simulate scenes that closely match the real-world, which are time

consuming to create," said Avinash Nehemiah, Principal Product Manager -

Autonomous Systems at MathWorks. "With the connectivity between RoadRunner and

aiSim engineers can easily author complex, simulation-ready scenes in

RoadRunner for virtual testing in aiSim."

"We are very proud to work with MathWorks RoadRunner on providing more

user-friendly ways for content creation, especially when it comes to the latest

challenges for the industry, like sensor and environment simulation. This new

collaboration fits well and extends our existing integration with other

MathWorks product like MATLAB and Simulink. More importantly we think this is a

big step forward for our users having the benefit of an intuitive and

well-designed content creation tool seamlessly integrated with a deterministic,

flexible and certified simulator engine." – said Szabolcs Janky, Product

Manager of aiSim.
