Renault Megane E‑Tech outfitted with Compredict’s virtual sensors streamlines validation workflows
Compredict is at the expo showcasing Compredictor, its demo vehicle featuring software‑defined sensing, with real‑time virtual sensor outputs up to 100Hz via standard CANbus, with no extra ECUs or data links. Offering comprehensive parameters, including wheel forces, tie‑rod loads, driveshaft torque, tire and brake wear, robust calibration, seamless integration into existing vehicle compute architectures and more, Compredictor is already in series production with Renault Group. Head of virtual sensors, Martin Zeller, commented, “Exhibiting Compredictor lets us demonstrate how virtual sensors turn every series vehicle into a rolling test lab”.

Instron exhibits video game-like simulator developed in collaboration with IAMT and Siemens
The star of Instron’s booth is a simulator developed alongside IAMT and Siemens. 
According to representative Felix Kleine, it is akin to a video game where users drive on a digital road with a steering wheel – “the digital input of the bumpy road is transmitted to our controller and to a small axle test stand. A model car on the axle test stand is shaken by the driver’s digital input and tested on this road. We want to illustrate how our product works in an easy-to-understand and interactive way.”
