Deploying Model-Based Design: 20+ Years of Partnership

As the adoption of embedded control systems has increased, software for applying Model-Based Design has also matured in sophistication. Earlier tools were focused on developing innovative controls features. Now, the focus is on two axes: developing innovative features and ensuring the tools are a key part of the overall vehicle systems development process, which encompasses technical, process, and organizational aspects. This presentation starts with a historical overview of automotive trends and Model-Based Design and illustrates how both have evolved over the years. The presentation then looks at the key challenges today in developing innovative automotive technologies and what MathWorks is doing to support deployment of Model-Based Design. It concludes with a look to the future evolution of automotive systems development.
