Virtualization in Embedded Systems

Why do we need it?

In the automotive industry, virtualization is pivotal in creating virtual test environments. Modern vehicles, equipped with cameras, radar, and LiDAR, continuously scan their environment, generating massive data streams.

Virtualization enables the simulation of real-world conditions in a controlled setting. Engineers can recreate complex traffic scenarios or hazardous conditions within a virtual environment, allowing for extensive testing of vehicle response and safety systems without physical risks.

This approach significantly accelerates development cycles and enhances the safety features of autonomous vehicles.


Virtualized Sensor Networks:

For environmental monitoring, virtualization helps in managing vast sensor networks. Embedded sensors deployed across various ecosystems can feed data into a virtual model of the environment.

This model can predict changes, simulate the impact of various factors, and aid in decision-making for environmental conservation. For instance, virtualized models of forest areas can help predict and manage forest fires, contributing to more effective environmental protection strategies.
