Numerical simulation is a powerful tool to help solve mobility challenges.
Mobility is an extremely important topic these days, and it’s growing in importance all the time. Numerical simulation has served the transport industry enormously (trains, planes and, of course, cars). Today, DAES experts can support you across the entire value chain, from the vehicle to mobility scenarios. Our engineers will help you to take into account the physical challenges and opportunities of sustainable mobility.
Overall, digital simulation can help improve mobility by enabling better vehicle design, more efficient journey planning and better management of existing transport infrastructures.
A changing market: connectivity, ecology and regulation
The automotive industry is simultaneously facing an unprecedented set of strategic challenges: disruptive change, rapid expansion, range renewal, all against the backdrop of the digital revolution. Emerging technologies such as electric cars and network-based applications are reshaping the transportation equipment manufacturing sector. Finally, environmental regulations and growing demand for alternative mobility concepts are forcing manufacturers to adapt and innovate even further. Engineers can use digital simulation to design and test vehicles before they are physically built. This cuts development costs and times, while improving vehicle quality and safety, and reducing the need for prototypes.
Solutions for the future of automotive innovation
DAES supports you in the development of tomorrow’s vehicles, as well as in the design of new, more flexible and more efficient industrial sites (industrial processes and maintenance via digital twins). We provide a wide range of services, from on-site design to outsourced technical platforms for sub-assemblies or complete vehicles.
Simulation can be used to optimize operations, as well as public comfort and safety.
We support rail industry players by enabling them to create and test virtual prototypes of components, subsystems and complete rail vehicles. Design requirements vary considerably depending on the vehicle’s use, for example: indoor/outdoor, freight/passenger, number of rails, maximum train speed, preventive maintenance. Our solutions meet the challenges of the rail industry.
Today, it’s crucial to control flows in urban areas. So it’s now possible to simulate the movements of people using different modes of transport for their urban mobility: train, bus, car, scooter, bike, electric bike, walk… modes of travel vary and so do the flows. The city of tomorrow will be connected and eco-responsible. It has a duty to make the best possible use of these different modes of transport, while promoting the most environmentally-friendly ones.
Aircraft are obviously part of mobility, and numerical simulation tools are used extensively in this industry, which is more broadly part of the Aerospace sector.
