According to interviews with experts from automotive industry, one of the main changes in the future automotive development will be the entry of new disciplines. This leads to more and closer cooperation between company departments at different locations. In addition location-dependent influencing factors due to different driver types and environmental situations have an increasing significance.For supporting the automotive development in the future environment like mentioned above, the IPEK has implemented a new validation concept based on its X-in-the-Loop-Framework. “X” is the substitution for the system under development (SUD), which is validated under consideration of the influences from the remaining system, user and environmental situation. The new validation concept is characterized by a “Distance Loop”, which means the SUD and other elements can be located across the globe.The advantages of the new validation concept are demonstrated in this paper with concrete application examples based on an international collaborative project.
