On July 30, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence (Hexagon) signed a Memorandum of Understanding ( MOU) with Hanyang University's Department of Future Automotive Engineering (Hanyang University) and iVH, an AI and digital twin-based solution company, to strengthen technological cooperation in the fields of autonomous driving simulation and multi-body dynamics-based vehicle analysis.
The signing ceremony took place at the Chung Mong-Koo Future Automotive Research Center on Hanyang University's Seoul Campus. The ceremony was attended by representatives from Hexagon's Design & Engineering (D&E) division, including the Channel Sales Group Headquarters and Technology Headquarters Head, the CEO of iVH, and the Department Head of Hanyang University's Department of Future Automotive Engineering. Participants discussed future joint research and educational collaboration plans.
Under the agreement, Hexagon will provide Hanyang University with its autonomous driving simulation solution, Virtual Test Drive (VTD), and its multibody dynamics-based simulation tool, Adams. Based on this partnership, the two institutions plan to pursue joint research, academic events, hands-on training programs, and talent development programs.
VTD is a simulation platform capable of integrating complex road and traffic infrastructure, diverse driving scenarios, and sensor modeling. It is utilized in the development and verification of autonomous driving systems. Adams is an analysis tool that enables real-time analysis of vehicle dynamics, durability, noise and vibration performance, and more, supporting design verification in the early stages of product development.
Through this collaboration, Hexagon and Hanyang University plan to promote regular technological exchanges and project-based collaboration to address technological needs in related fields such as autonomous driving, digital twins, and smart mobility, and to foster a practice-oriented research and education ecosystem.
