What is Motar?
Motar enables mechanical engineers in the automotive industry to create software without programming skills. The Motar-platform consists of a Simulink blockset, a Basic SW (BSW) stack based on AUTOSAR, and optionally, a custom-made HW platform. This enables quick and flexible model-based development with lower costs. By using the Motar-toolbox for Simulink, a scalable solution compliant with AUTOSAR is provided. Motar provides a seamless integration with model-based development tools to enable full integration support at the model level rather than at source code level.
The following MathWorks products are necessary for integration: MATLAB®, Simulink, MATLAB Coder™, Simulink Coder™, and Embedded Coder®. Motar contains a Simulink Blockset that enables users to generate their model (ECU firmware) completely from Simulink.
Technology Partner InMotion
For the development of their current racecar, the KP&T IM/e, our partner InMotion uses the Motar-platform. Motar ECUs are used for the control of every electronic function in this car. ICT and InMotion are developing these ECUs together in a close partnership. Furthermore, for InMotion’s future series-hybrid endurance racecar, the IM01, Motar is intended to be used.
