Collaborative
Research at AVL
Germany
AVL Germany
VL Deutschland GmbH has been a research partner
involved in numerous European, national, and regional
research projects since 2004. These collaborative proj-
ects are usually funded for three years and provide AVL with
an optimum framework for working on new and challenging
topics in the fields of electrification and automation and the re-
quired development methods. Close collaboration with OEMs,
Tier 1s, and universities in particular gives AVL employees new
perspectives on relevant cutting-edge technologies. Another
advantage is the intensive networking of the simulation, test-
ing, and engineering division at the various locations.
Projects such as VVMethoden and KisSME provide new
approaches for automatically detecting critical traffic scenarios
and demonstrate them in practical use. In the TechReal and
SmartLoad projects, new solutions for Vehicle-in-the-Loop and
networked component testbeds for safeguarding electrified
and highly automated vehicles were developed and tested in
specific applications.
Such references enable AVL in Germany to get involved in new
customer projects, like contracts for the series development of
Level 4 Mobility-as-a-Service shuttles.
