About AVSimulation

AVSimulation emerges as a pivotal entity in the automotive simulation sector, established in 2017 as a strategic joint venture between SOGECLAIR and the Renault Group. This formation leveraged over three decades of combined experience in engineering and automotive simulation. The company's trajectory was significantly amplified in 2021 with the inclusion of Dassault Systèmes and UTAC as major shareholders, a move that integrated further expertise in CAD, PLM software, vehicle testing, and certification. Headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, the company operates under the leadership of CEO François DEUDON.

The core of AVSimulation's business is the development and provision of advanced simulation solutions for mobility systems. Its revenue model is centered on the sale of its flagship software, SCANeR™, along with a range of driving simulators and tailored services such as training, road digitization, and custom development. The company serves a global client base of automotive manufacturers, researchers, and technology developers, enabling them to design, test, and validate mobility systems in highly realistic virtual environments. This approach drastically reduces development costs and timelines by minimizing the reliance on physical prototypes.

AVSimulation's primary offering, the SCANeR™ software, is a modular and open simulation platform. It provides a comprehensive suite of editable models for critical elements like road environments, vehicle dynamics, traffic behavior, and a variety of sensors. The software’s architecture is designed for adaptability, allowing it to run on diverse platforms from engineer workstations to complex test benches, the cloud, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) or Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) setups. Key applications include the testing and validation of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), autonomous vehicle functionalities, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and human-machine interface (HMI) studies. The platform's compatibility with industry standards and its recent integration with Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform further enhance its utility in the development lifecycle.
