How Siemens is developing a digital twin vehicle model for smart cities to help enable a safe and accessible future for autonomous transport

How will the hard-fought vision of autonomous mobility finally be realised ? Siemens has brought together two of its global businesses to achieve a goal that will pave the way for safer , greener more efficient modes of travel in our cities . Siemens Digital Industries Software is working with OEMs to guide the development of the hardware and software required for safe , highly autonomous vehicles . Allied to this , Siemens Mobility ’ s efforts to deliver the compute requirements and communication capabilities needed for the smart city infrastructure will allow vehicles to apply the information received and make intelligent decisions .

A challenge met through collaboration “ Ours is a multi-pronged approach ,” explains David Fritz , Senior Director , Autonomous and ADAS at Siemens Digital Industries Software ( DISW ). “ At Siemens , we ’ re engineeringcentric and , with automotive , need to help our partners understand how to make the journey from the mechanical to the digital . It ' s a big leap and the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of integrated software and services is helping us make that jump , by providing our partners with the ability to transition many disparate parts into a cohesive system . This includes not only engineering level simulation , but also requirements tracking and traceability from concept all the way through to the production of the vehicle itself .”
