MODEL-BASED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR THE VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT WE SIMPLIFY THE COMPLEX

AT A GLANCE:

The rich variety of vehicles drives the complexity of software integration.

We reduce this complexity with model-based software engineering.

Methodological expertise and a comprehensive system approach minimize your costs and risk.

THE CHALLENGE:

Rail vehicles have to strike a balance between shorter innovation cycles, increasing functionality, and a longer service life. The problem is that the large variety of vehicles results in increasingly complex software and integration, which in turn boosts costs and risks.

 

WHAT GIVES YOU ADDED VALUE:

We develop vehicle control software using model-based software engineering (MBSE). The MBSE approach raises the software to a whole new level of abstraction, makes it more reusable, and reduces complexity. That’s how we speed up development and validation – and help ensure that your projects adhere to budgets and delivery dates.

 

WHAT WE DO DIFFERENTLY:

Methodology meets philosophy: MBSE helps you maintain an overview of the vehicle’s entire software system. This complies with our “engineering approach” of always understanding and modeling system functions first in the software.

Model-based software engineering for the vehicle control unit

GETTING THERE FASTER

We speed up the development and validation of vehicle control software using model-based software engineering.

DEVELOPMENT OF IOT AND EDGE APPLICATIONS

FOR SMART RAIL OPERATIONS

By monitoring “health states,” identifying optimization potentials in the network, and enabling predictive maintenance, our application development transforms your data into knowledge.

Subsystem integration for the vehicle control unit and operator network

SO IT ALL WORKS TOGETHER

When subsystem integration is performed for the vehicle control unit and operator network, we take full responsibility for combining multivendor architectures to form a functioning whole.

Innovations

WE’RE SHAPING THE FUTURE

We play an active role in both national and international research projects that are working to prepare rail vehicle technology for the challenges of future decades.

Development of a basic system

BASIS FOR THE FUTURE

By participating in international standardization projects, we’re contributing to the creation of a highly expandable and modular basic system of the future.
