PSAT Used to Support R&D and Management Decisions After a thorough assessment, PSAT was selected in 2004 as the primary 

vehicle model for all FreedomCAR and 21 CTP activities by the U.S.DOE, stating that “All future code development and enhancements for OFCVT

Management Decisions

stating that  All future code development and enhancements for OFCVT shall focus on PSAT and PSAT‐PRO”

PSAT was awarded a R&D100 Award in 2004 and a Technology Transfer Award in 2007Award in 2007

PSAT is currently used by more than 130 companies and 700 users worldwide, including GM, Ford, Chrysler, Hyundai, Toyota

Reliance on Modeling & Simulation is Continuously Increasing Reduce cost and time to production

Provides math‐based environment for more thorough multidisciplinary 

Continuously Increasing

integration and testing in the virtual environment before hardware builds

Sorts technologies quickly to reduce hardware build iterations

Promotes parallel and integrated virtual development of control systems p g p yand hardware

Reduces/eliminates duplicate modeling and analysis work and activities

Enables fast to market with new technologies and real fuel Enables fast to market with new technologies and real fuel economy Delivers better‐integrated, initial designs that balance 

( )Fuel Economy, Emissions and Drivability (FEED) requirements.

Provides common methods and tools for comparing/evaluating technologies.

Facilitates efficient, seamless link from research to production to maximize reuse of work products and eliminate waste.

AUTONOMIE –

Taking it to the Next Level

The objective is to accelerate the development and j pintroduction of advanced technologies through a Plug&Play architecture that will be adopted by the 

entire industry and research community.
