‘Digital Twin’ technology-applied autonomous vehicle design and simulation contest held

Sponsored by the YU Engineering Education Innovation Center and co-hosted by engineering education innovation centers of four major universities in Korea

Constructing a collaborative education system between global companies and universities

  The YU Engineering Education Innovation Center hosted the ‘2021 Joint Convergence New Technology Design Camp and UCC Contest.’

  This contest, which was sponsored by the YU Engineering Education Innovation Center and co-hosted by the engineering education innovation centers of the Korea National University of Transportation, Hall University, and Hongik University, was the nation’s first joint convergence new technology design camp that used digital twin technologies to construct an education collaboration system and to design and simulate autonomous vehicles in cyber space.

  It was held in cyber space for a week from July 14 to 21 and the design contest was held at the Daegu Interburgo on July 22.

  This is the first time that multiple universities constructed an education and collaboration system in cyber space to provide engineering education for fostering human resources in autonomous vehicles, while hosting production contests.

  In this contest, an autonomous driving education platform produced using the ‘3D EXPERIENCE Academic Platform’ of the global digital twin company Dassault System and its affiliate Hana TS, and expert mentoring in digital twin engineering were utilized. Participants of the contest produced autonomous vehicles at a 1/10 size in cyber space using digital twin-based engineering.

  Through this education collaboration system, it is expected that students will be able to use digital twin technologies to continuously experience automobile engineering, simulation, and production processes, as well as autonomous driving and virtual tests through collaboration that is being emphasized in the new mobility sector.
