Verification of ADAS components equipped with cameras and radar and sensor fusion

National Instruments announced that it will participate in the 'Automotive Testing Expo 2018,' which will be held at KINTEX in Ilsan for three days from March 13 to 15, and will showcase the latest solutions and demos, including sensor fusion test technology and vehicle simulators for autonomous vehicle testing.

At this exhibition, NI is unveiling a diverse range of solutions capable of reducing the cost and time of automotive testing while ensuring industry-leading measurement accuracy. As automotive systems become increasingly sophisticated, NI is continuously advancing technologies to meet stringent test requirements to guarantee system safety and quality. NI’s platform-based approach provides flexible and future-proof systems equipped with system-wide timing and synchronization capabilities, enabling the fulfillment of complex automotive testing requirements for ADAS, V2X, infotainment, powertrain, body, and chassis.

NI’s newly introduced sensor fusion test technology enables precise verification of individual components and sensor fusion aspects of ADAS equipped with both cameras and radar. Through the 'Vehicle Simulator' and 'Vehicle Radar HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) Test' solutions incorporating this technology, more efficient and accurate testing of autonomous vehicles is possible. Furthermore, NI's FieldDAQ is a solution that ensures accurate measurements even in demanding environments through powerful distribution and synchronization capabilities. The Automotive Ethernet and DIAdem solutions enable the efficient utilization and management of rapidly increasing vehicle data.

In particular, NI is introducing Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Intelligence E-Call (Emergency Call) technologies, jointly developed with INNOSIMULATION, Korea's largest simulator specialist, as part of an autonomous driving test demo. These technologies, which enhance the safety of autonomous vehicles, can be verified through a simulation demo driving a 3.1 km section around Sangam-dong, Seoul. Additionally, on the second day of the exhibition, Murali Ravindran, NI's Global Automotive Director, will participate in the conference program to present industry-leading radar simulation and sensor fusion technologies.

Kim Jong-woo, Manager of Strategic Marketing at NI Korea, stated, “NI enables customers to build efficient and flexible systems through a platform-based approach.” He added, “Through this exhibition, customers can directly experience NI’s innovative solutions that satisfy the complex testing requirements and heightened expectations for autonomous vehicles. Furthermore, by witnessing the future of autonomous vehicles becoming a reality through NI’s technological capabilities and expertise, they will be able to further concretize their vision and strategies for preparing for the era of fully autonomous driving.”
