XPI Simulation

XPI Simulation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thales UK, designs and manufactures a range of world-leading, cost-effective simulator systems for driver training and research applications. XPI offers a range of solutions that are fully scalable and flexible according to different budget and performance requirements. XPI's core capability lies in the development of a flexible and modular software architecture that accommodates the different functions related to driving simulation - including physical hardware interfaces, image generation, database generation, modelling, vehicle dynamics and scenario creation. For OmniCAV, XPI will be leading the design and development of the core simulation software that will be used to test autonomous vehicles. This activity will draw upon the CAV3 feasibility study, Certification of Autonomous Vehicles in Synthetic Environments (CAVinSE), which XPI is leading. XPI will draw upon the resources of its parent company in order to deliver a design that ensures a root of trust within the simulator, providing a secure environment for OEMs, regulators and certification bodies alike. XPI will also leverage Thales's experience and expertise in complex, mission-critical domains across defence, aerospace, transport and security.
