Efficient Vehicle Testing: How MXeval Bridges the Gap Between Simulation and Reality

The Challenge: Consistent Evaluation Across Diverse Testing Environments

Developing modern vehicles is an incredibly complex process. Engineers face the challenge of connecting various testing environments – from simulations and lab tests to real-world driving trials. But how can all of this data be analyzed efficiently and consistently? This is where MXeval comes in – a powerful tool that bridges the gap between virtual and real-world testing, revolutionizing the development process. It enables centralized analysis of all data, regardless of whether it comes from a simulation or an actual test drive.

Real-World Example: ACC Testing in Simulation

A concrete example illustrates MXeval’s capabilities: an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) test is conducted in a simulation environment, such as CarMaker. In this scenario, one vehicle approaches another while the software continuously records all relevant data in the background. MXeval then analyzes the measurements and presents key performance indicators (KPIs) in a clear, organized way. However, the true advantage lies in its ability to compare this data directly with results from real-world driving tests.

The Key Benefit: Direct Comparability Between Simulation and Reality

MXeval allows test results from simulations to be directly overlaid with real-world measurement data. This makes it easy to see how closely a simulation mirrors actual test conditions—and where discrepancies may exist. In some cases, the simulation is so accurate that physical tests become unnecessary – leading to significant savings in both time and cost.

Greater Efficiency Through Flexible Analysis Capabilities

MXeval comes equipped with a wide range of prebuilt libraries and test series that cover all key areas – from longitudinal and lateral control to parking maneuvers and vehicle dynamics tests. This enables engineers to map out the entire development process within a single environment and make well-informed decisions more quickly.

MXeval: The Bridge Between Virtual and Real-World Testing

Blending simulation with real-world testing is becoming a cornerstone of modern vehicle development. With MXeval, engineers gain a tool that not only standardizes the testing process but also validates simulation as a viable alternative to physical trials. This saves time, cuts costs, and drives more efficient development workflows – a true game changer for the automotive industry.
