AI Boosts All

Development Tasks

ntelligent algorithms have become essential to simulation

and data analytics thanks to their enormous potential to

accelerate processes, reduce costs and increase quality.

Surveys show that the time to market can be shortened by up

use of AI in the in-use phase has the potential to save recall

costs running into the millions.

Improved Concept Development

AI helps to make faster and more precise design decisions in

concept development. Digital prototypes are enhanced with

neural networks, delivering precise solutions for the complex

physical relationships within the vehicle (see article on the

right).

Automated Requirement Management

Large language models are applied in Requirement

Management, in the form of fully-automated checks on

standards compliance and to uncover any inconsistencies.

Algorithms translate text requirements into executable code

that is used for software testing within test automation,

accelerating test creation and ensuring product quality.

Accelerated Testing Procedures

AI methods can monitor tests, identify anomalies, and detect

failures at an early stage. In the case of lengthy battery testing

in particular (cell aging tests, for example), AI models provide

significant time savings as tLey e\tract aging inJormation

from measurements and correlate this with the performance

parameters from the battery. This reduces the expense of time

spent on the testbed and accelerates further development.

AI Expertise at AVL

AVL combines vehicle development experience with AI and

data expertise. We utilize AI models by training and integrating

them in OEM IT environments. Adjustable AI solutions for

batteries, ICE, HDž ICE, and fuel cells cover the entire lifecycle –

from concept to development and after sales. These solutions

can be used on-premise, in the cloud, or as Software-as-a-

Service (SaaS), supported by AVL Data Analytics™.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI is

spreading swiftly throughout the automotive industry.
