The Advantages of MBSE-driven E/E Architecture Development

Vehicles in all sectors are growing in complexity as OEMs develop sophisticated platforms with growing levels of automation and connectivity. To cope with this growing complexity, automotive, aerospace and commercial vehicle OEMs must evolve their architectural design processes to leverage MBSE and the digital thread. Today’s E/E system engineering solutions help companies implement MBSE by providing robust data continuity, advanced automation capabilities and closed-loop verification and design optimization. With these solutions, engineers can use existing functional models to generate vehicle architectures and more detailed system designs, continuously building on data from upstream processes to ensure traceability from functions to implementations and actual components or systems. This traceability will be crucial to demonstrate regulatory compliance and the safety of advanced vehicle platforms.
