ADAS TestingAdvanced Driver Assistance Systems

Dewesoft provides a turn-key solution for ADAS testing with highly accurate inertial navigation systems (INS) to accurately measure relative positions and velocity between multiple moving and static objects.

All modern vehicles are now being equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The development of such systems requires complex testing, including the ability to control and calculate relative positions between multiple vehicles and objects in real-time.

ADAS Testing highlights

Reliable GNSS and Inertial Navigation Systems

Dewesoft offers accurate and reliable navigation systems (GNSS receivers and INS) and AHRS with a high dynamic update rate that offers maximum accuracy and reliability.

< 2 cm Position Accuracy

Dewesoft navigation systems with the combination of gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers, pressure sensors and dual antenna RTK GNSS receiver provide the highest possible positioning and velocity accuracy. 

Single or Multiple Vehicles

Our ADAS testing system can be configured for single or multiple vehicles with the most cost-effective configurations. Wireless communications between multiple vehicles ensure that data from all vehicles are stored in the single data file and completely synchronised.

Easy To Use

Dewesoft ADAS testing system came with our award-winning DewesoftX software which offers simple configuration, visualization, and analysis of acquired data and offers extended processing and visualizing capabilities.

Virtual 3D Polygon

DewesoftX optionally offers a module for visualization of moving and static objects in 3D virtual space. Polygon can also calculate X/Y/Z distances, angles, gate triggers, etc. between moving and static objects in real-time.

Lidar and CAN Bus Acquisition Support

Our system can receive data from LIDAR sensors and the vehicle's CAN bus network. This ensures the easy comparison of the data coming from the ADAS system and actual measurements.

Synchronized Acquisition Other Data Sources

Additional synchronized acquisition of other sources is possible within the same system Analog, Digital, Video, Lidars, CAN bus, CAN FD, OBDII, J1939, FlexRay, XCP/CCP, etc.

Unlimited Channel Expansion

The system can be extended at any time with unlimited analog, counter, digital, CAN input channels with any of our data acquisition systems.

Several Applications

Dewesoft ADAS testing system can be used for multiple ADAS tests including collision avoidance testing, blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control testing, autonomous vehicles testing, lane departure warning, lane assist system testing, LIDAR testing, etc.

Dewesoft quality and 7-year warranty

Enjoy our industry-leading 7-year warranty. Our data acquisition systems are made in Europe, utilizing only the highest build quality standards. We offer free and customer-focused technical support. Your investment into the Dewesoft solutions is protected for years ahead.

Software included

Every Dewesoft data acquisition system is bundled with award-winning DewesoftX data acquisition software. The software is easy to use but very rich and deep in functionality. All software updates are free forever with no hidden licensing or yearly maintenance fees.

ADAS Testing Application Overview

The latest GPS-based position measurement technology is used to provide a highly accurate, easy-to-use ADAS test system. RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) option for GPS sensors provides high positioning accuracy (< 2 cm). A static GPS base station sends the GPS correction data over to the moving vehicles.

Two or more vehicles can be connected and observed. Synchronized data from all vehicles provides very accurate position and distance information relative to each other and/or to a fixed object. In addition, DS-IMU2 provides accurate measurement of all vehicle dynamics, including side-slip angle. All data is transferred to a master system which obtains real-time measurement results during the test run.

A robust WLAN solution is used to keep the communication between the vehicles for up to a distance of 1 km. There is theoretically no limit to the number of vehicles within this measurement - only the WLAN bandwidth limitation.

Collision Avoidance Testing

Autonomous emergency braking and forward-collision warning features have become mandatory in 2018 for all new commercial vehicles. DEWESoft has developed a tool for testing such vehicle safety features.

Real-time updates about relative distances, velocity, acceleration, detection of unavoidable obstructions around of a moving vehicle, and the ability to store all the other information of target vehicles that are needed for collision avoidance testing.

Connectivity and communication between multiple vehicles work in a range of up to 1km. Many additional options like Video, CAN, XCP/CCP, FlexRay, and additional collision warning signals acquisition are possible. The system can also be used on open roads, with relative RTK measurements (relative position accuracy between the cars is in the range of ±2 cm and the possibility of tests according to ISO15623 - forward vehicle collision warning systems and EURO NCAP - AEB procedure.

Blind Spot Detection Testing

In the automotive context, “blind spots” are areas outside of a vehicle that the driver is unable to see. To test and validate such a system it’s possible to use our ADAS solution, which provides real-time measurement of more than 10 different objects (vehicles, pedestrians, balloon cars, ...).

To have maximal precision, RTK GPS technology is used for < 2 cm positional accuracy. To get additional information about the effectiveness of blind-spot detection, cameras, Lidar sensors, and other analog sensors can be installed inside the vehicle, and data acquired with pin-point synchronization.

Lane Departure Warning and Lane Assist System Testing

Another safety feature is a lane departure warning system, which is designed to warn a driver when the vehicle moves out of its lane. Some vehicles also have a lane maintaining system, which assists the driver by reducing the steering input burden in corners. Dewesoft offer a solution for testing both systems!

The system can be used to verify the performance of the lane departure warning systems. Relevant technology:

  • medium/high-speed cameras,

  • GPS and IMU devices for precise positioning data,

  • CAN interfaces and microphone inputs.

  • R&D testing according to ISO 17351 and NHTSA NCAP test procedure.

Adaptive Cruise Control Testing

ACC system is capable of automatically adjusting the speed of a vehicle to match the speed of the vehicle in front of it. ACC systems are also capable of acceleration. It is critical to test systems with different drive maneuvers. Dewesoft ACC test system is reliable, easy to use, and time-saving.

The main feature offered is the connectivity of multiple vehicles. More than 10 vehicles can be synchronized and calculated at the same time in real-time. Additionally, the system allows input of Lidar laser scanner (e.g. IBEO Lidar laser scanner) or even development interfaces such as Ethernet, FlexRay, CAN and XCP/CCP. This allows measuring ACC warning signals from the vehicle CAN. Add additional analog/digital inputs and synchronize external distance sensors and video from different cameras.

Additional applications

  • Steady-state distance and overtaking from steady-state

  • Approaching, acceleration, and deceleration in convoy

  • ISO 15622 with target acquisition range, target discrimination test and curve capability test procedures

Autonomous Vehicles Testing

All the above features can form the basis for autonomous driving development. Dewesoft is taking a major role in the Drive Me project which is the world’s first large-scale autonomous driving pilot project by Volvo cars. Cars are being tested on public roads every day. 

Role of Dewesoft in the project:

  • Provides all the analog data and CAN acquisition hardware via the SIRIUS product line.

  • To store and process such a huge amount of data, powerful SBOX data loggers are used.

  • For receiving a highly accurate position (down to 2 cm), velocity and orientation DS-IMU2 with RTK-GPS is used.

  • Several DS-CAM-600 color cameras with Full HD resolution and online compression are used to record the behavior of other vehicles and pedestrians.

All the above systems are synchronized together with GPS-PPS sync technology which provides synchronization accuracy down to microseconds. Volvo chooses Dewesoft because it's the only vendor that can offer the combined acquisition of so many devices and biometrical data into a single integrated solution.
