Anritsu and dSPACE to showcase Digital Twin for VRU protection at 5GAA
Summary
Unlike in-vehicle-based methods, it is expected that protection in blind spots (such as outside the effective detection range of vehicle-mounted sensors and building shadows) will also be possible via 5G network communication. To achieve this, the 5G communication to cooperative VRUs must be reliable, and the evaluation of QoS management and fault tolerance at the IP layer is a critical factor. The demo solution provides a digital twin environment for real-world scenarios, so VRU protection testing can be started virtually when features are not yet available on the real vehicle. This Digital Twin technology demonstration shows how C-V2X communications can offer this great societal opportunity," stated Maxime Flament (CTO of 5GAA). In this demonstration, VRU protection simulation is performed by reproducing the University of Michigans automotive test course "M City" used at the 5GAA meeting week, together with smart cameras and different road users.
