ADE, integrated emulation of ADAS-related sensors in vehicles


Keysight Technologies announced on the 26th that it will collaborate with German virtual vehicle test company IPG Automotive and V2X system architecture company Nordsys to design and develop a modular test platform that accelerates autonomous driving function verification.

As the number of sensors and the amount of data that the decision-making devices in ADAS-based vehicles must process continue to increase, the complexity of development, simulation, and testing tasks is increasing.

The technical limitations and complexity of implementing various sensor emulations, as well as the lack of standard interfaces, also require integration into a complete and comprehensive environment.

The three companies have established a multi-year collaboration to develop an autonomous driving emulation (ADE) platform that synchronizes and emulates all ADAS-related sensors in a vehicle, including cameras and radar, into a single system.

ADE helps automotive OEMs and their partners focus on developing and testing ADAS systems, sensor fusion, and algorithms, including decision-making algorithms.

As an open platform, ADE simplifies integration with commercial 3D modeling, HIL systems, and existing test and simulation environments.

Tom Goetzl, vice president and general manager of Keysight's automotive business, said, “IPGNordsys said it will leverage Keysight's capabilities to provide solutions that enable customers to simulate and emulate systems, devices, and software, including sensor fusion and decision-making algorithms.
