ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo 2024 Stuttgart returns to Stuttgart, Germany – Europe’s most influential hub for automotive innovation, research, and development – on June 4, 5, & 6, 2024!
Exhibitors will showcase the latest technologies to enable and accelerate end-to-end autonomous and ADAS applications, including testing tools, simulation, software, sensing, and AI.
Visit us in Hall 6, Booth 6526 – we present the consistency of the testing options from software-in-the-loop to hardware-in-the-loop in the field of autonomous and automated driving.
Reduction of the Residual Risk in a SOTIF-Compliant Validation Process
A major challenge for bringing autonomous vehicles to public service is homologation. It requires a SOTIF-compliant verification and validation process of the AV stack. Validation is a particular challenge as a reliable argumentation is required proving that the residual unknown risk is sufficiently low when the vehicle operates within its operation design domain. dSPACE presents a new approach combining the analysis of real test drives with SIL simulation. Unknown risks in driving scenarios are found, evaluated and reduced. Abstract scenarios are used to categorize relevant scenarios experienced in test drives for an approximation of plausible test coverage evidence.
The audience will learn:
- SOTIF-compliant validation of AVs
- Reduction and estimation of residual risk
- Abstract scenarios
- Scenario-based testing
Lab-Based Homologation of SAE Level 3 Vehicles Using Multisensor Simulation
Efficient homologation of SAE Level 3 vehicles requires testing and validation of software and hardware systems in the lab. This results in new challenges and requirements compared to traditional testing such as the simulation of validated sensor raw data with the highest timing accuracy. This presentation offers a comprehensive end-to-end test architecture for the verification of Level 3 functions in a controlled lab environment. This includes the simulation of dozens of sensors simultaneously in real time and highly synchronized. The presentation covers sensor simulation for camera, radar, lidar and ultrasonic sensors, as well as all automotive bus interfaces and V2X and GNSS/GPS.
The audience will learn:
- How lab-based testing can be used for the homologation of SAE Level 3 vehicles
- Different types of sensor simulation for data injection on raw-data level
- How sensor models need to be validated
- Requirements for the overall test system architecture regarding real-time performance, synchronization and flexibility
- Functional safety requirements of SAE Level 3 vehicles and how ISO 26262-certified test software can help here
