Engineers at General Motors’ new brake testing facility know the differences between moans, squeals, grinds, groans and grunts – annoying noises common to their work. Now, with a new brake chassis dynamometer, they can simulate braking in weather conditions that range from Alaska to a tropical island. With the new facility opened earlier this year, GM […]

The SCADE model-based embedded software suite now features an automatic generation of HMI executable applications from a single model over a variety of targets, including Android or iOS tablets and other similar devices. The code generated out of SCADE models is fundamentally independent from the target platform ― whether it is the hardware and associated drivers

While the testing facilities at General Motors’ multiple proving grounds around the world are well spread, getting a test vehicle out into the real world is just as important as navigating simulated challenges. When testing for the effects of cold weather on the fuel economy of the Cruze Turbo Diesel, energy and powertrain integration engineer Tessa

Before automotive OEMs purchase a new sensor system, they want to see a real-time prototype of the sensor working in a vehicle environment so as to evaluate its performance and potentially modify its specifications. For example, Hella (A lighting and electronic components and systems supplier company) often needs to demonstrate an early version of sensors, which
