IPGDriver - the artificial intelligence

TruckMaker comes with IPGDriver, the most successful driver model for sophisticated closed-loop driving tasks. IPGDriver perfectly represents the actions and reactions of a real driver and has special capabilities for driving trucks and buses.

Traffic in the city


No matter what you wish to simulate - a defensive driver or an aggressive driver, city courses or handling tracks, driving uphill or downhill, forward or backwards, stop&go or parking - IPGDriver is easy to configure and being now in his 6th generation has everything under control.

Key benefits
  • Automatic speed planning depending on truck/trailer characteristics
  • Automatic trajectory planning with corner cutting
  • Driving at the dynamic limits with counter steering
  • Automatic learning procedure for shifting, braking, steering, preview etc.
  • Handling of active systems such as ESC, steering systems or ADAS
  • Automatic driver adaptation for roll-over control
  • Truck specific gear shifting strategy
  • Rounding coefficient for tight corners
  • Steering by steering wheel angle or by torque
  • Stop&go and driving at walking pace
  • Hill-starting with parking brake
