Case Study: Toyota Motor Corp. improves power steering analysis and model development with Maplesoft

Toyota Motor Corp uses Maplesoft for power steering analysis over 10 years

The customer, Toyota Motor Corp, faced challenges in the development and analysis of power steering systems, requiring robust mathematical and numerical computation software. They turned to the vendor, Maplesoft, utilizing their product Maple for tasks such as analyzing frequency responses and transfer functions, and for model development.

Maplesoft's solution, primarily using Maple, provided superior formula-processing capabilities and more accurate handling of complex numbers compared to other software. A key benefit was the introduction of the Maplet application in Maple 8, which allowed Toyota to create custom graphical user interfaces, eliminating the need to transfer long formulas into external spreadsheets. This made the work more efficient and effective, though no specific quantitative metrics were provided in the case study.
