1.Aim of activity

　Currently, model-based development (MBD) is being put into practical use in various forms within the automotive environment, and will be further applied to digital certification and other areas in the future. An international standardization strategy is essential for its realization. Furthermore, due to the intensification of competition for dominance in manufacturing and production, the trend in standardization has evolved from the patenting of a single technology to activities that target all aspects of manufacturing and the manufacturing system that produces it. For this reason, this committee has been working to apply and promote MBD compliant with international standards to the pre-development processes from planning to design for manufacturing. By applying international standards to MBD, it becomes possible to address ① the distribution of models with tool-independent compatibility and ② the assurance of designs through digital certification.
　The purpose of this committee is to contribute to the revitalization of manufacturing and the improvement of development efficiency by conducting industry-academia collaboration to discuss specific manufacturing application technologies corresponding to each development phase through the development of models based on international standard descriptions for the development of next-generation automotive systems, and by disseminating these technologies in the form of guidelines, model templates, and mechanisms as foundational technologies for collaborative development.

4. Volunteer activities

Efforts will be made to further develop the above research activities.
(1) Focusing on the electrification of cars, we will work to expand the scope to various parts that make up next-generation mobility, and aim to realize practical simulation technology for automotive systems.
(2) As a technology that can utilize MBD from the planning phase to the development and design phase, consider models of the granularity that can be controlled and promote its dissemination.
(3) By utilizing the cloud environment, we will distribute vehicle models, parts models, etc. created by the committee, and aim to establish MBD.
(4) Collaborate with other organizations to promote the possibility of digital authentication through simulation using standardized models.
(5) Visualize the objectives and cooperation areas of each working group, and share activities within and outside the committee.
(6) Provide education that includes the principles of simulation in order to develop engineers who create models. Furthermore, based on this education, we will discuss how to actually spread MBD.
　In order to carry out the above efforts, we will form a working group and sub-working group, and based on the results, we will develop a collaborative model base using a cloud simulator and publish it.
