MathWorks products are used in the development of nearly every major vehicle system. Engineers rely on the tools to explore and analyze ideas, model and simulate systems, rapidly prototype concepts in the vehicle, and then deploy to production hardware.

Powertrain Systems

Today’s automotive powertrain systems must meet tougher fuel economy and emissions requirements, while providing the performance customers demand. Engineers are addressing these requirements with ever more sophisticated engine technology combined with electronic controls.

Modeling and simulating the powertrain and the desired controls together lets engineers improve quality by validating ideas early, before development work begins. Leveraging these models for rapid prototyping and production code generation saves time during the implementation and verification phases. Applying powerful analysis and optimization capabilities during calibration and validation allows engineers to manage the complexity of high degree-of-freedom engines.
