Renault Group Leading the Way in Advanced Digital Immersion Simulations
The Renault Group, a pioneer in numerical simulation for over 25 years, has taken a significant step forward in vehicle development with the inauguration of a new 2,300 m² building dedicated to driving and immersive simulation.
At the heart of this state-of-the-art facility lies the Renault Operational Advanced Driving Simulator (ROADS), a co-development between the Renault Group and the company INGENIA. This exceptional simulator pushes the boundaries of immersive simulation, offering a unique 360° phygital immersion.
ROADS is a vehicle defined by software, capable of reproducing the dynamic behavior of any vehicle in any conditions, including road type, traffic density, interactions with other vehicles, altitude, weather, lighting, and more. It is mounted on powerful actuators and slides on rails measuring 25 meters by 25 meters, with 90 tons in motion and accelerations of 1 G on each axis.
The digital twin, built by the centre's engineers, combines the characteristics of a vehicle, its road behavior, driving aid systems, and embedded software. This allows for the simulation to intervene during the vehicle's series life, ensuring it continues to meet customer expectations.
Virtual reality plays a crucial role in this process, immersing engineers in a digital vehicle without the need for physical prototypes. The precision of the simulation rendering enables a significant reduction in development costs by decreasing the use of physical prototypes.
The Immersive Simulation Centre of Renault Group houses over 70 engineers and is equipped with a powerful tool for vehicle design and development. The centre also includes the Scenario Factory, which can digitally reproduce real roads, create imaginary ones, or combine the two.
Moreover, 'massive' simulations performed in the Cloud test the digital twin in millions of driving situations, further enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the development process.
Renault Group's commitment to innovation doesn't stop at ROADS. The company has also developed the SCANeR© simulation software, a joint-venture between Sogeclair, Renault Group, Dassault Systemes, and UTAC that develops driving simulators and the driving simulation software SCANeR©.
With these advancements, the Renault Group continues to lead the way in vehicle development, leveraging the power of technology to create safer, more efficient, and more enjoyable driving experiences for its customers.
