TruckMaker
TruckMaker is a real-time simulation solution specifically tailored to the requirements relevant for the development and testing of heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, construction vehicles, buses, semi-trucks, heavy-duty semi-trucks, and special vehicles. TruckMaker enables the accurate modeling of real-world test scenarios in the virtual world and increases the agility of development processes. In accordance with the automotive systems engineering approach, virtual test driving with TruckMaker enables the seamless development, calibration, testing, and validation of entire systems across the whole vehicle in realistic scenarios. TruckMaker offers a high-performance, real-time capable vehicle model to build virtual prototypes already during the early stages of the development process. Users have the option to replace components with their own models or hardware.

SIMulation Workbench
Hardware-in-the-loop simulation is a trusted, cost-effective alternative for executing tests on actual equipment. It is ideal for proving designs and performing tests of complex equipment such as in automobiles, airplanes, missiles, satellites, rockets and locomotives. Testing is executed in a virtual test scenario instead of on the road or in real-devices. Much of the test environment is replaced by mathematical models, so components can be inserted into a closed loop. This makes for tests that are reproducible, systematic and fast, as well as more reliable. Concurrent hardware-in-the-loop simulation solutions feature the SIMulation Workbench real-time modeling environment running on the RedHawk Linux operating system. SIMulation Workbench provides a complete framework that makes it easy to develop and execute hardware-in-the-loop simulations in real-time.

VR-Design Studio
FORUM8’s interactive VR-Design Studio* software is deployed by hundreds of research organizations, urban planners, transportation authorities and vehicle manufacturers across all four continents to create fully immersive, realistic models of the built environment. Interactive 3D VR simulation and modeling software VR-Design Studio enables users to dynamically manipulate 3D space, run unlimited drive simulation scenarios, import and edit CAD data, build and texture models, and automatically add roads, tunnels and bridges to create multiple design alternatives in real time, both off and online. The completed models provide users with the ability to visualize and intelligently interact with the virtual world they have created, enabling analysis of the potential environmental impact of the proposed development, including on pedestrian and vehicular traffic flows, to facilitate the widest possible stakeholder collaboration during the planning process.
