Integrating Digital Twins on Automotive Standardized Architectures (McMaster University)

Researchers at McMaster University have published a technical paper on integrating digital twins (DT) in automotive standardized architectures. The paper explores the use of DT technology in the automotive industry, focusing on services like computer-aided remote control and cloud-based fleet coordination. It highlights the challenges in developing automotive DTs due to the lack of architectural guidelines, with ISO 23247 being one of the few standards available. The study assesses the suitability of ISO 23247 for automotive DT development through a case study on Adaptive Cruise Control for autonomous vehicles, identifying strengths and limitations of the reference architecture. This work aims to guide future research, practice, and standard development in the field.
