At Nextedy, we believe that independence should know no bounds. That’s why we support innovators like Arnold NextG in building drive-by-wire systems that not only push the frontier of autonomous mobility, but also restore freedom to people with disabilities.
Enabling Future Mobility Through Excellence in Engineering
Arnold NextG’s drive-by-wire system lays the foundation for the next generation of autonomous mobility — while also empowering people with disabilities to regain independence through tailored vehicle solutions.
The Nextedy CHECKLIST and GANTT play a vital role in this success — by providing clear structures, reliable planning, and seamless integration into the Polarion engineering environment.
Drive-by-Wire System at Arnold NextG – Powered by Nextedy GANTT and CHECKLIST
At Arnold NextG, the focus lies on the development of a modern, modular drive-by-wire system designed to serve two key application areas:
- Industrial projects in autonomous driving – such as automated utility vehicles, logistics systems, or special mobility solutions.
- Mobility solutions for people with disabilities
Both use cases require maximum safety, traceability, and engineering quality. To structure daily work efficiently and ensure full compliance with the requirements of safety-critical systems, Arnold NextG relies on two powerful Polarion extensions developed by Nextedy: CHECKLIST and GANTT.
Nextedy GANTT – Real-Time Planning at Arnold NextG
Developing a drive-by-wire system involves multiple layers: mechanics, embedded software, validation, system integration. The Nextedy GANTT for Polarion brings clarity to this complexity:
- Real-time Gantt charts: Automatically generated based on existing Polarion data, including task dates and dependencies.
- Flexible detail levels: Project managers can view the entire project timeline, while individual teams focus on their own scope — all within the same tool.
- Cross-team coordination: Gantt views significantly simplify coordination with external partners like Paravan, e.g., for scheduling integration tests or delivery phases.
Nextedy CHECKLIST – Full Control Over ToDos and Reviews
The Nextedy CHECKLIST enables intuitive and effective task tracking directly within Polarion — a major benefit in the context of a safety-critical system like Drive-by-Wire:
- Task-integrated ToDo tracking: Development activities such as software architecture reviews, code compliance checks, testing criteria, or FMEA actions can be structured as checklist items.
- Standardized review checklists: For safety-related reviews, predefined checklists are shown automatically, aligned with ISO 26262 requirements.
- Complete traceability: Every checklist item is tracked and documented — a clear advantage for audits, certifications, and internal QA.
Outcome: Structured, Transparent Development at the Highest Level
By integrating Checklist and Gantt from Nextedy into Polarion, Arnold NextG has achieved measurable improvements in the development of its drive-by-wire platform:
- Consistent, reliable review processes fully embedded in workflows
- Audit-compliant safety documentation for certification readiness
- Transparent project planning across teams and with partners
- Increased efficiency by eliminating redundant tools and manual processes
