DYNACAR: advanced research full electric vehicle

What is Dynacar?

Dynacar is a powerful, flexible, real time simulation environment for the design, development and validation of complete vehicle systems or subsystems.

Dynacar is a powerful road vehicle model developed in LabVIEW RT that enables automotive engineers design and test all types of vehicle sub-systems in one complete and customizable environment.

Dynacar can be used throughout the entire design process, allowing the rapid prototyping, implementation and real-time testing of electronic control units (ECU´s) and powertrain components.

Combined with Veristand/InertiaTM, custom control algorithms and simulation models generated with other languages can be easily integrated into the vehicle model.

Dynacar also allows powertrain engineers to quickly generate their own vehicle models, using the graphic user interface with an advanced virtual environment, and to supervise the real time testing with Veristand/InertiaTM.

With one, common off-the-shelf hardware and software platform, tests developed in the design and HIL phase can be used all the way through the development cycle to the production floor, reducing costs and speeding time to market.

Dynacar was developed by Tecnalia – one of Europe’s largest applied research centers – and productized with the help of Wineman Technology Incorporated. This multi-domain and open architecture is changing the way vehicle systems are designed and tested, moving from a siloed approach to a more integrated one for vehicle systems and their components.
