Millbrook introduces 5G-connected ‘Vehicle-In-Loop’ testbed facility
By Jim Gibbins - 1st September 2020
UK – Bedfordshire-based Millbrook Ltd has specified, built, and commissioned a unique simulation suite as part of its 5G testbed facility. The simulation environment is an integrated ‘Vehicle-in-the-Loop’ (VIL) ecosystem, which combines Millbrook’s virtual proving ground with highly detailed vehicle modelling software.
Millbrook says this enables it to support customers’ vehicle development within virtual and blended environments. The simulator can be used for designing, developing and testing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), and conventional vehicles. It can also be used to determine vehicle road safety, develop artificial intelligence, test infotainment packages and validate intelligent energy systems on electric powertrains for battery and thermal management.
