PITTSBURGH, Jan. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights:
- EasyMile uses Ansys software to help meet rigorous customer
requirements and government safety regulations
- Ansys® medini analyze supports analysis of
electronically-controlled safety related functions at the concept,
system, software and hardware levels
EasyMile, an all-electric autonomous technology supplier
headquartered in Toulouse, France
looked to Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) software for a single-source,
turnkey solution to demonstrate the safety of their driverless
vehicles. With CADFEM France, Ansys enabled engineers to work from
a single model for all safety activities across
platforms—significantly shortening development cycles, speeding
time to market and reducing operational costs for the company's
driverless shuttle and tow tractor solutions.
Both electric vehicles (EVs) operate at level 4 (L4)—meaning
they are fully autonomous until a system failure is detected.
EasyMile deployed Ansys software to conduct functional safety
analysis of infrastructure and connected architecture for both
vehicles.
Autonomous vehicle (AV) function depends on a high level of
information to operate safely. The real-time data-processing
supporting AV functionality is driven by input from a complex
system of lidars, radars, cameras, internet of things (IoT)
sensors, GPS and navigation software, all working together to give
a 360-degree perspective of vehicle surroundings. To demonstrate
safety at this level is difficult and requires clearly defined
methods and tools for managing the complex architecture of these
nonclassical systems.
Using Ansys software, EasyMile identified a single solution with
all the tools needed to analyze their very complex AV system
architecture. With Ansys' help, EasyMile established clear
guidelines for safety analysis, along with the unique templates and
supporting documentation needed to successfully demonstrate the
safety of their AV solutions for customers and various government
regulatory bodies.
"It has been difficult in the past to demonstrate the safety of
our products to clients," says Romain
Dupont, R&D for EasyMile. "Ansys medini analyze really
helps us to streamline the process and bring it all together in a
way that our clients can understand. Together with Ansys' support,
we're helping shape future standards for autonomous vehicle
safety."
medini analyze is a software toolset supporting safety
analysis for electronically-controlled safety related functions. It
allows for the consistent and efficient application of industry
guidelines specific to autonomous vehicle applications, helping to
eliminate inconsistencies during analysis to accelerate
certification.
"Autonomous vehicle technology is developing at a lightning-fast
pace," says Shane Emswiler, senior
vice president of products at Ansys. "This challenges manufacturers
and OEMs to reliably test and demonstrate the viability of these
incredibly complex systems. We're continuously evolving medini
analyze to meet ever-changing safety criteria in support of
successful customer deployments."
