Multidomain Model-Driven Software Development at Volvo Car Group

Following the exponential increase of software in vehicles, which is turning automotive innovation into a mechatronics software business, model-driven development, test, and analysis has to be extended to multidomain modeling. The strategy must also be scalable, allowing multiple projects and needs in parallel. Volvo Car Group is currently developing and testing model-based continuous integration, in collaboration with MathWorks, with model-, software-, and hardware-in-the-loop testing in fully automated steps from the component level to the simulated vehicle on road.
