A generic Model Parameter Editor (MPE) allowing the smooth management of the model parameters at run time is provided. It consists of AVL ARTE.Lab Studio SDK, a development environment, and AVL ARTE.Lab RTE, a run-time environment for the execution of real-time models. AVL ARTE.Lab uses MATLAB® and Simulink® for modeling of engine and powertrain components and systems and other real-time applications. The optional DOMI (DRIVE Open MATLAB Interface) interface is available in all versions of AVL-DRIVE.AVL ARTE.Lab™ is an open simulation environment for the integration of real-time applications into AVL test bed systems based on AVL PUMA Open. Additionally the MATLAB Compiler can be used within DOMI to pack the user defined MATLAB code functions into DLLs. The interface allows for easy offline and online data analysis of DRIVE data from within MATLAB. The specialized DRIVE-MATLAB interface (DOMI) allows direct coupling of DRIVE with MATLAB. Later in the development process, engineers and managers use DRIVE for final quality checks and buy-off rides. Early in the development process, engineers use DRIVE for powertrain calibration in simulation mode, on the engine or vehicle test bed or on the road. Via real-time analysis DRIVE delivers objective ratings for driveability events including a quality ranking of vehicle character.Īutomotive OEMs and suppliers use DRIVE across a wide range of applications. The hardware system collects these input quantities and passes them on to a PC running the DRIVE software for analysis.



The system uses various sensors to capture the most significant data and vehicle parameters, such as longitudinal acceleration, engine speed, velocity, pedal position, and vibrations. The AVL-DRIVE system is designed for objective analysis and quality control of passenger car characteristics based on the driver's experience.
