 PDF Siemens solutions foster broader closed-loop collaboration Key takeaways: To bridge the gap between today’s advanced driver-assisted systems and tomorrow’s fully autonomous vehicles (AV), transportation management systems, from fleet coordination to traffic management, must be well connected. New sensors, automotive software including on-vehicle embedded and off-vehicle (cloud) software, and computing advances are the building blocks enabling advanced driver-assisted system (ADAS) features and eventually driverless autonomous vehicles. Connecting empirical data for model validation, will enhance collaboration between all stakeholders during AV product development and operations. Connectedness will keep AV products safer while improving the travel experience by reducing traffic congestion and driver workload. Connectedness allows new groups outside of historical vehicle engineering and manufacturing to assist in operations and product/service upgrades based on the latest usage patterns. CIMdata’s definition of product lifecycle management (PLM) emphasizes the complete lifecycle of a product and all its related data, from requirements to actual performance, to planning and supply chain participation, then
