Hardware-in-the-loop project from R&S and Vector ensures safer ADAS testing
Summary
Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing is a technique used to accelerate the development of complex real-time embedded systems such as ADAS in situations where using a fully assembled vehicle is not possible or too costly, time-consuming or dangerous. The solution opens up a completely new world of possibilities for testing radar-enabled ADAS features and ensures the safety of autonomous driving functions in HiL setups. Innovative antenna array technology allows complex artificial objects to be generated for the radar sensors at variable distances and with variable radial velocity, object size and angular direction. In addition to offering standard radar based ADAS feature tests such as adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency breaking scenarios, the system can be easily upgraded to cover advanced test cases. It can grow to meet the complexity of future scenarios – another important step on the way to autonomous driving.
