Lab-based homologation of SAE Level 3 vehicles using multisensor simulation

Efficient homologation of SAE Level 3 vehicles requires testing and validation of software and hardware systems in the lab. This results in new challenges and requirements compared to traditional testing such as the simulation of validated sensor raw data with the highest timing accuracy. This presentation offers a comprehensive end-to-end test architecture for the verification of Level 3 functions in a controlled lab environment. This includes the simulation of dozens of sensors simultaneously in real time and highly synchronized. The presentation covers sensor simulation for camera, radar, lidar and ultrasonic sensors, as well as all automotive bus interfaces and V2X and GNSS/GPS.
