ADAS/AD & Virtual Test Drive
End-To-End Validation of ADAS Functions Using Real-World Data, Virtual Scenarios, and Scalable Test Systems
Validating ADAS functions requires thousands of test runs at many levels.
Data replay and simulations in SIL through HIL setups enable end-to-end verification - from the initial concept to validation in the ECU.
Vector combines real sensor and vehicle data, virtual test drives, and scalable test architectures into a consistent approach. You benefit from reproducible tests, clear results, and rapid iterations throughout the entire development process.
Application Areas
- Environment perception and sensor fusion
Validation of camera, radar, and lidar systems, as well as object detection algorithms. - Safety functions
Verification of AEB, FCW, lane-keeping assist, and other driver assistance systems. - Comfort and driving functions
Tests for ACC, parking functions, and automated driving maneuvers. - Scenario-Based testing & NCAP
Simulation of standardized test cases and evaluation according to NCAP scenarios and regulatory requirements. - Validation with Real-World Data
Reuse of recorded driving data for reproducible tests in the laboratory.
