Third-Party Products & Services AVL CRUISE Vehicle simulation platform Highlights Optimization of vehicle and vehicle components (fuel economy, vehicle performance) Extensive variety of vehicle and powertrain configurations possible Evaluation of new vehicle concepts (e.g., hybrid electric vehicle, fuel cell) Analysis of transient powertrain effects Design of vehicle thermal management systems Intelligent driver module for realistic reproduction of vehicle behavior Click to see enlarged view Description AVL CRUISE is used to perform vehicle simulation and powertrain analysis. It is designed to develop and optimize low emission engines, reliable powertrains, and sophisticated control systems of engines, cooling, and transmission systems. CRUISE supports the engineer during the whole engine and vehicle development process in standard applications, such as fuel economy and full load acceleration tests, hill climbing performance and traction diagrams, as well as computational concept studies including the mechanical, electrical, thermal, and control system. This integrated solution makes simultaneous engineering in the development process possible, which is the basis for reducing development times and costs.
