Virtual Validation
Automated Driving
The virtual testing and validation of driver assistance systems and automated driving functions (ADAS/AD) require efficient and realistic perception sensor models.
In particular, the limitations and measurement errors of real perception sensors must be simulated realistically to generate useful sensor data for the ADAS/AD function being tested.
Railway Systems
Before rail vehicles are put into operation, they must undergo extensive approval tests. This is particularly true for the braking systems of rail vehicles.
To make credible statements, each individual test of an entire test campaign must be repeated under unchanged environmental conditions to obtain statistically significant results.
Solutions for Virtual Validation
Virtual Homologation
Virtual approval requires a technically accepted procedure, a credible and reliable model, the calibration of this model, and a minimum amount of available measurement data. Additionally, a standardized process is required to make the documentation comprehensible.
Virtual Validation is a necessary tool to achieve virtual homologation in vehicle development. By employing advanced simulation and modeling techniques, manufacturers can virtually replicate real-world scenarios, ensuring that their vehicles and systems meet the stringent requirements set by regulatory bodies.
Enhancing Safety Niveaus
By simulating diverse scenarios, ranging from extreme weather conditions to complex traffic situations, virtual validation allows engineers and designers to assess the performance of components, systems, and entire vehicles in a controlled and cost-effective digital environment.
This approach not only expedites the product development cycle but also enhances the overall quality and compliance of automotive and railway solutions, contributing to safer and more reliable transportation systems.
