DIVP®

Driving Intelligence Validation Platform (DIVP®) project launched as research consortium with 10 (at present) industries and academia, including sensor manufacturers and software companies as well as universities from 2018.
We are dedicated to creating a safety evaluation simulation platform for automated driving in virtual space focusing on highly consistent sensor models.

DIVP® Product overview

Mission

Task of safety evaluation of automated driving vehicle and goal of DIVP® product.

Special Feature

Simulation models that highly consistent with physical phenomena.

Our modeling for real-virtual consistent sensor outputs is the digital process of modeling physical phenomena in an electromagnetic spectrum, predicated upon the detection principle of sensors and verifying in comparison with real vehicle test results.
