Systematically Testing Autonomous Vehicles

It’s half time in the renowned Verification Validation Methods (VVM) project. In mid-March, the project partners presented their initial results and methods. Representatives from politics, industry, and academia stressed the importance of the project, stating that autonomous driving can be safe only if reliable validation and verification methods are used. dSPACE contributes its expertise in SIL and HIL simulation for the analysis and evaluation of project requirements, and also provides prototype implementations to demonstrate the methods.

Blog: Ready for the Drives of Tomorrow

Mobility is currently undergoing tremendous change. The consumption of fossil fuels is being considerably reduced and successively replaced by alternative propulsion technology, such as electric drives. Conventional combustion engines that run on gasoline or diesel still exist, but vehicles propelled by batteries, fuel cells, or hybrid drives are becoming an ever more familiar sight on our roads. Each of the above propulsion types places its own demands on development and testing. Learn how dSPACE supports you with its solutions in this blog.

Functional safety concerns us all, especially when it comes to autonomous vehicles. One step in the right direction is to qualify their development process according to ISO 26262. dSPACE has received certification from TÜV Süd for its SIMPHERA software solution.

Power HIL Testing for an Onboard Charger

Do you want to make sure that any kind of electrical vehicle can charge at any version of a charging station and/or wall box worldwide? dSPACE emulation systems help you to achieve this: they combine grid and battery emulation of regionally differing power grids and vehicle configurations at full power in one system. The model-based Power HIL approach allows for harmonics and fault insertion by mouse click and thus enables the validation of all operation points in the laboratory.
