Experts from HORIBA discuss RDE+, a frontloading programme utilising road, chassis and powertrain methodologies. Combined with state-of-the-art environmental emulation hardware and virtual vehicles, routes and driver toolsets, real-world driving scenarios, irrespective of the propulsion technology, can be deployed before prototype vehicles and real-world testing are required.

Key topics and takeaways:

  • Introduction to RDE+
  • How RDE+ is structured: RDE+ ROAD, RDE+ CHASSIS, RDE+ POWER and RDE+ VIRTUAL
  • How we do it: Replication, Emulation, Simulation and Automation
  • What we have done so far: Road to Chassis, Road to Engine and deployment of Virtual Tools

Note: This presentation was delivered as part of the Mobex Hybrid Electric Vehicle Innovation virtual summit.
