ZF has expanded its cubiX software platform to cater to the growing demand for dedicated control units in commercial vehicles.
The cubiX software controls all vehicle actuators, including brakes, driveline, and steering, ensuring vehicle stability, safety, precision, and performance. The system is now available for commercial vehicle customers, customized to their individual needs, and includes software, hardware, as well as system integration and system engineering services.
The software interfaces with all virtual driver systems and vehicle actuators to ensure required safety, precision, and vehicle performance in challenging driving scenarios such as freight yards or ports.
Automation of vehicle movements in freight yards and ports can greatly increase efficiency and productivity, while addressing key issues impacting the logistics industry such as ongoing driver shortages, especially for night-time operations. ZF reports its cubiX simplifies this process for vehicle manufacturers and end-users, allowing them to focus on their core competencies. The software has been tested in the field under real-life conditions and has already proved to be highly effective in a recent long-term pilot study in Germany.
In passenger cars, cubiX is already established on the market and has proven itself in series production. The platform’s modular structure offers a standardized range of basic functions, creating synergy effects in the development and optimization of driving-specific functions. In cooperation with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, ZF has integrated Goodyear SightLine into the cubiX ecosystem, providing further tire and road data into the vehicle motion control software.
