Presentation

Precipitation characterization for ADAS development of sensor performance at ACE

Ontario Tech University/Automotive Centre of Excellence's core research facility will share the journey of the precipitation characterization and testing functionality of ADAS for soiling due to weather impacting the vehicle sensors and detecting targets. Ontario Tech and ACE are leading the way in developing new, advanced development routines and testing methodologies for real-world weather conditions. The world-class Climatic Aerodynamic Wind Tunnel and other environmental chambers provide testing in rain/snow/ice/fog in varying temperatures and humidity. ACE provides calibrated rain/snow/ice/fog precipitation characterization that accurately and repeatably reproduces real-world performance of lidar, radar, cameras and other optical sensors in full vehicle operation.
