Simulated Vehicle Diagnostics

With the global increase in the number of vehicles on the road, the need for vehicle maintenance and diagnostics is also growing. This is driving demand for vehicle diagnostics simulations. Simulation tools help technicians diagnose vehicle problems faster and more accurately, with a particular focus on speed, accuracy, scalability and low learning costs.

The increasing complexity of modern vehicles, particularly due to networked control units and different communication protocols, is increasing the need for flexible and expandable simulation solutions. Vehicle diagnostic simulations can be used in different phases: for the development and validation of diagnostic functions, for the preparation of service processes, and for the analysis and reproduction of fault cases.

Diagnostic and communication simulation

DSA offers simulation solutions for vehicle diagnostics that enable comprehensive diagnostics regardless of time and location. PRODIS.VDS combines support for CAN, CAN FD and DoIP and offers high configuration flexibility as well as stable and fast simulation functions. Error cases can be simulated in a targeted manner in order to obtain prompt feedback on diagnostic results.

PRODIS.VDS can be used flexibly in different scenarios. Simulation communication can be carried out on various end devices. In addition, the tool supports diagnostics and simulation via local hosts, LAN and cloud-based environments, especially for the simulation of DoIP communication. This significantly expands the range of applications.

Version management and configuration management

In addition, PRODIS.VDS enables the management of multiple versions of simulation files. This allows easy switching between different simulation states and helps users to check and compare vehicle states in different phases, facilitating troubleshooting and analysis.

PRODIS.VDS also offers functional advantages in terms of maintenance and configuration. The simulation configurations are managed in XML files, making the configuration information clear, traceable and easy to edit. In addition, the platform supports the connection of external editors to implement customer-specific adaptations and reduce maintenance effort.
