PreeVision: Vector’s tool for model-based distributed embedded system development in the automotive industry. It provides comprehensive capabilities for signal and service-oriented architecture building and all aspects of E/E systems, including requirements engineering, AUTOSAR, software and communication design, and wire harness evolution. Ensemble and model-based approaches help keep complex tasks simple and manageable. It also supports the tried-and-true systems engineering principles of abstraction, decomposition, and reuse, and can serve as the engineering backbone. It supports parallel work on a shared database from multiple locations, as well as the design of E/E architecture platforms that can be used in different vehicles; in addition, it provides design and evaluation of components, signal routing, model conformance checking, and functional safety analysis.
