he transformation in the automotive industry is

becoming ever faster, accelerated by innovative

technologies, new legal requirements, and increasing

competition from China in particular. In order to remain

competitive under these conditions, carmakers must

continYoYsly increase tLeir develoTment eƾciency and

Composer, decisions on the vehicle concept can now be made

in a matter of days – instead of taking several months.

High-Precision Predictions Thanks to Neural Networks

Multi-level, cascading neural networks form the core of

AVL’s innovative AI approach. Using more than one million

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) represents a paradigm

shift in selecting the right technology for all vehicle systems.

Our AI-powered AVL Vehicle Composer™ tool allows manufacturers

to make concept decisions up to three months earlier.

solutions for the complex physical relationships within the

vehicle. The neural networks enable accurate, simultaneous

prediction of vehicle properties (with regard to energy
