AVxcelerate Headlamp accelerates the development of intelligent headlamps by validating control law behavior and testing potential edge cases early in design. Easily assess innovative and smart light beams with real-time optical simulation in a virtual driving environment. Increase your final product quality and strongly reduce the risk of finding issues late in the development process.
Real-time and physics-based optical simulation guarantee the accuracy of virtual headlamp prototypes in the driving environment.
By accounting for the optical properties of material and light propagation, you can make reliable decisions about your optical design.
The unique features of real-time optical simulation allow headlight designers to perform virtual night tests and assess headlamp performance without going to the test track.
Ansys VRXPERIENCE Headlamp extends testing for intelligent lighting, such as AFS, ADB, matrix and pixel beam, and control law models to assess IIHS ratings. Additionally, perform early driver-in-the-loop testing, increasing the final product quality and strongly reducing the risk of finding issues late in the development process.
Simulate and test vehicle headlights during night driving conditions. The real-time, physics-based solution allows you to simulate virtual prototypes of headlamps to detect, analyze and compare any defects in beam patterns, including chromatic aberrations.
Easily create and simulate driving situations that can include several vehicles. Use the pixel beam or matrix beam testing scenarios for several cars at once, allowing you to generate scenarios such as oncoming and preceding vehicles, crossroads, takeover maneuver, etc., in any environment, from urban areas to countryside by using the integrated driving simulator of your choice. Include test drivers within the decision loop thanks to the driver-in-the-loop capabilities.
Perform beam assessment and regulation checks with a wide set of analysis tools to detect, measure and compare any defects in beam patterns. Visualization in false colors facilitates the comparisons between different behaviors and light sources — Halogen, Xenon or LED. Measurement grids ease the assessment of homogeneity of light distribution and the aiming wall allows you to check the conformity of the cut-off according to regional regulation.
Develop dynamic and intelligent lighting systems thanks to a C/C++ API or Simulink® toolbox , such as cornering light, adaptive front lighting system, dynamic bending light, adaptive driving beam, matrix beam and pixel light. The solution offers a real-time pixel beam simulation and control mechanism capable of managing pixel-level beam behavior (such as DMD or microLED systems for example). Efficiently develop, iterate and test your intelligent lighting system control software, up to hardware-in-the-loop simulation with camera sensor injection.
When developing an intelligent lighting system, you want to have as much light as possible on the road to optimize driver safety without creating dangerous or distracting glare for drivers of other cars. With AVxcelerate’s glare-free high beam feature, you can measure the discomfort of the glare generated by the other vehicle headlamp from a driver’s perspective, including a visual gauge to objectively measure the discomfort. A corresponding visual effect is added to the rendering view to graphically show the glare impact. Measurements provide a quantified, detailed analysis on several lighting configurations and scenarios for easy comparison.
Virtually evaluate and optimize the rating of your complete headlamp system according to IIHS test track and measurement devices. The vehicle under test automatically drives along a normed trajectory where virtual illuminance sensors are positioned according to the standards. AVxcelerate Headlamp considers vehicle dynamics and intelligent lighting control laws. An automated batch test mode allows you to evaluate several headlamp configurations in a row, generating a detailed report including the rating and detection thresholds.
