Simulation – Consideration of Co-Simulation Approaches in Toolchain

A simulation concept should consider the co-simulation approach, which may incorporate mixed elements such as traffic environment, traffic flow, vehicle architecture, sensor data and communication aspects. In order to guarantee the high quality of the global simulation concept, co-simulation should be synchronised within the same simulation environment. At the same time, data generated by different simulations also needs to be shared between simulations.

Main Question

Does the simulation toolchain consider co-simulation approaches?

Sub-Questions

1. Does the simulation consider separate details of co-simulation such as: traffic simulation, vehicle dynamic simulation and cooperation simulation (traffic management)? 
2. Can the applied simulations be synchronized?
3. Can different elements of the co-simulation exchange data between them?
4. Have different elements of the co-simulation standardized interfaces (e.g. ASAM OSI, 2023)?
