Case Study: Cummins achieves faster product development and system simulation with MathWorks (Simulink and AUTOSAR)

Cummins Integrates AUTOSAR, ISO 26262, and Model-Based Design for Faster Product Development and System Simulation

Cummins, a global power-solutions company, faced rising OEM demands for fuel economy, performance, emissions control, electrification, safety, and cybersecurity. To meet these requirements and speed up development, Cummins turned to MathWorks and adopted model‑based design practices using Simulink and the AUTOSAR Blockset, aligning to AUTOSAR and ISO 26262 guidelines to build integrated controls software and system simulation architecture.

MathWorks helped Cummins implement Simulink as the integration platform and an AUTOSAR-based architecture (mixing classic and adaptive approaches with distributed modules), connecting controller and plant models for full system simulation. The MathWorks solution enabled simulation‑based, Agile development and architecture‑driven design that streamlined coding and integration, improved compatibility and interoperability, and delivered higher‑quality products in a shorter time while better aligning with OEM expectations.
