Simulation Model for Automated Vehicles (SIMAV)

The Simulation Model for Automated Vehicles (SIMAV) is a sophisticated virtual testing tool that mimics how self-driving cars behave in different driving scenarios. It creates detailed computer environments where vehicle sensors, algorithms, and controls are tested without physical roads. This helps developers identify potential issues, improve safety, and evaluate vehicle responses to various conditions. By simulating real-world situations, SIMAV accelerates the development process, reduces costs, and ensures that autonomous vehicles can operate safely before being deployed on actual roads.
