Some of the New Products on Show
DAY 1: Engineering services from AVL
AVL
At this year's expo, AVL is highlighting its engineering services designed to validate ADAS and AD functions in next-generation vehicles.
Gerald Hochmann, the company’s principal for global business development of ADAS/AD testing solutions, outlined the company’s presence at the show: “We take the opportunity to attend this trade show to convey all our latest updates by our experts on testing solutions and engineering services assisting the development of ADAS and AD for future mobility.
“The Stuttgart exhibition and conference is the perfect place and time to do this for all our European clients, as well as for customers visiting from all over the world.”
AVL solutions on display include virtual testing solutions for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), radar and steering. Highlights include the AVL DrivingCube, a versatile tool enabling safe and reproducible testing at the system and component levels. It covers signal-based fault injection, EMC testing and scenario-based testing of complex traffic situations.
Hochmann added, “This solution integrates simulation with the ADAS electronic control unit (ECU) in a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setup, alongside a ready-to-drive vehicle on a testbed. The tooling provides scenario creation and management, testing workflow and detailed data analysis. With this, traceability throughout the ADAS/AD validation process is given. ADAS/AD testing gets faster, safer and more flexible.”
The company is also explaining to visitors how it uses virtual homologation and scenario-based testing in projects beyond L2 and L3 automation.
“AVL Scenius is a scenario-based testing solution for virtual homologation that offers extensive coverage of diverse and critical driving scenarios. It reduces costs and accelerates development cycles by minimizing the need for physical prototypes and tests,” explained Hochmann.
“Additionally, it supports regulatory compliance and homologation through structured, scalable and flexible virtual testing, ensuring thorough evaluation of autonomous vehicles.”
AVL is also discussing its AVL ZalaZone proving ground in Hungary, explaining that the facility supports comprehensive development and certification of ADAS technologies, allowing for extensive urban scenario testing, including intersections, crossings, parking and more.
