Abstract
A method includes executing, by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of a vehicle, a physics-based simulation of a first simulated component of a plurality of simulated components of a digital twin including a plurality of corresponding simulated components, the first simulated component corresponding to a first physical component of a plurality of physical components of the vehicle. The method further includes modifying, by the ECU, a control strategy for operation of the vehicle to modify an operation of the vehicle based on the simulation of the first simulated component. The method further includes executing, by the ECU, the modified control strategy to control the first physical component.
