Huawei's Shanghai Centre Leads Automotive Acoustics with Cloud Computing

Huawei's Shanghai Acoustics R&D Centre has embraced cloud computing for automotive acoustic development. The centre processes vast datasets, runs simulations, and enables real-time audio processing, marking a significant shift in the industry.

Huawei, a global leader in technology, supplies solutions to over twenty automakers. These solutions cover a wide range of areas, including driver assistance, cockpit and control systems, and acoustics. The company's commitment to innovation is evident in its R&D spending, which reached CNY 179.7 billion (approximately £20 billion / €23.4 billion) in 2024, with over 113,000 R&D employees.

At the Shanghai centre, three testing environments generate enormous volumes of measurement data. The facility uses independent sound-zone technology, requiring real-time calculation of wave interference patterns and digital signal processing (DSP) adjustments. Cloud computing plays a pivotal role in processing variables for real-time adjustments based on vehicle speed and road conditions. This ensures optimal audio performance under varying driving conditions.

Lars Goller, Huawei's Chief Automotive Sound & Acoustics Advisor, leads the development of the 'master-tuning method'. This innovative approach combines scientific measurement, artistic tuning, and specialised hardware. The development process aims to create a harmonious and immersive audio experience for drivers and passengers.

Huawei's Shanghai Acoustics R&D Centre is at the forefront of automotive acoustic development, leveraging cloud computing for real-time processing and optimal audio tuning. With its commitment to R&D and innovative solutions, Huawei continues to shape the future of the automotive industry.
