Siemens Digital Industrial Software today announced that MobileDrive uses industrial software solutions from the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform and comprehensive digital twin technology to develop advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach. Siemens’ expertise in the digital mainline has helped MobileDrive accelerate the construction of the next generation of autonomous driving systems and set the standard for product quality.

Founded in 2021 as a joint venture between FIH Mobile and Stellantis Group, two leading mobile technology companies, MobileDrive focuses on infotainment, telematics and cloud services platform development, supported by software and hardware. MobileDrive combines innovation with more than 15 years of hardware and software integration experience to deliver complete in-vehicle solutions, including cutting-edge AI technology.

MobileDrive’s software innovations include the use of model-based frameworks to develop algorithms and software controls for generic and advanced ADAS applications, such as: Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK), Lane Following Control (LFC), Automatic Lane Change Assist (ALC), Emergency Turn Assist (ESA) and Automatic Emergency Turn (AES) meet the needs of a rapidly changing market with high-quality software.

To help MobileDrive achieve its goals, Siemens’ Simcenter™ engineering and consulting services team works closely with the MobileDrive team, based on market-driven vehicle needs. Software and services from Siemens Xcelerator provide a complete methodology and technical path for MobileDrive’s ADAS vision, while developing control algorithms and building detailed scenario system models including sensors and vehicle dynamics.

The system model was applied in a virtual test environment to help the MobileDrive team quickly identify and resolve system and software performance issues and validate ADAS software functionality prior to early development and production of physical prototypes, based on the exact vehicle digital twin, thereby reducing hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) and vehicle testing efforts. Create an effective and reliable software development process.

Dr. Hongmin Xu, CTO of MobileDrive, said: “The automotive industry is undergoing major changes to better meet the needs of users in different scenarios and achieve a more intuitive and seamless in-car user experience. MobileDrive is constantly innovating key cutting-edge technologies and actively working with its partners to innovate. The partnership with Siemens will help MobileDrive bring products to market in a leaner and more efficient way.”

In recent years, MobileDrive has continued to provide automotive manufacturers with a combination of safety, personalization and reliability, and has achieved Automotive Functional Safety ISO 26262 certification to ensure that vehicles are safe to drive.
