Discover how simulation helps ensure safer ADAS and autonomous vehicle design.
For safe autonomous mobility to become the standard on our roads, simulation and testing is essential. Hexagon’s virtual test drive solutions enable the simulation of thousands of scenarios to accelerate the development of the new generation of fully autonomous vehicles (AVs).
Overview
For autonomous mobility to become mainstream, consumers must have absolute confidence in the technology. Vehicle performance in operating environments must be predictable, requiring many millions of miles of road testing in all conditions to provide a rich data set for development.
Simulation technology offers a virtual solution to the required vehicle testing for autonomous mobility. With virtual test drive solutions, autonomous vehicles can be accurately road tested in multiple scenarios so that meaningful engineering information is available to inform autonomous vehicle development.
Hexagon’s virtual test drive solutions create, configure and visualise complete environments for vehicles to be evaluated and validated in any conceivable condition of operation. They enable autonomous vehicle developers to validate scenarios through various test platforms:
- Model in the loop (MiL)
- Software in the loop (SiL)
- Hardware in the loop (HiL)
- Driver in the loop (DiL)
- Vehicle in the loop (ViL)

We’re climbing the automation curve
Our transition to Intelligent automation is accelerating. Ultimately, our innovations will give rise to new technologies and applications - many of which we’ve yet to imagine. Today, every Hexagon solution is mapped and tagged according to its level of automation, so customers can clearly track our progress towards the freedom of autonomy.
Human-driven
All tasks completed by human labour; no data is leveraged across the operation.
Human-assisted
Labour is primarily conducted by a human workforce. Some functions have been automated to simplify control.
Partial automation
Some tasks are automated for short periods of time, accompanied by occasional human intervention.
Conditional automation
Human workforce is used for intervention as autonomous operations begin to increase productivity.
Highly autonomous
Autonomous systems complete required tasks within specific bounds, unleashing data and building smart digital realities.
Full autonomy
A smart digital reality™ enables autonomous systems to complete all tasks without human intervention.
