Driving Simulators for ADAS Testing: Innovate Faster, Prototype Smarter

How your ADAS testing and development can benefit from a Driver-in-the-loop simulator.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are evolving rapidly, along with the tests and regulations surrounding them. Consequently, a driving simulator is becoming an essential tool for automotive ADAS testing and development.

Are you interested in understanding how Dynisma's high levels of correlation can support the development and testing of your ADAS systems? Read below to learn more.

 

Benefits of a driving simulator in ADAS development

  • Capability to test a broad range of conditions.
  • Identify faults caused by driver input earlier in the test cycle.
  • Lower cost than standard prototyping.
  • Hardware in the Loop testing.
  • Incorporate driver feedback earlier in the development process.
  • Repeatability.
  • Software-in-the-Loop testing.
  • Quicker model delivery.
  • Switch effortlessly between various test scenarios in seconds.
  • Carry out dangerous tests in a safely.
  • Research on human factors.
  • Enhanced sustainability.

Euro NCAP LSS

Dynisma simulators can conduct the full range of NCAP Lane Support System (LSS) tests, offering advantages for testing each scenario. Use a simulator to test and optimise your Lane Keep Assist (LKA), reducing lane ‘bouncing’ to enhance driver comfort and confidence in the system. It can also be used to easily test lane markings from different countries, ensuring the system functions effectively all of them.

Dynisma’s simulators are also well-suited for Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK) development, with realistic motion that allows engineers to evaluate and test ELK systems earlier in the development process. They can also be used to weed out false positives, where the system acts unnecessarily or in a dangerous manner – a common irritant for many modern drivers.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Since Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a widely used ADAS feature, it is vital to ensure it is fully optimised for both safety and comfort. It is crucial that the ACC system functions safely, smoothly, and predictably in various conditions, which can be thoroughly tested using a Dynisma simulator.

Euro NCAP AEB

Use a Dynisma simulator to test various Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) scenarios — with the class-leading motion enabling manufacturers to perform their development and validation as realistically as in real life, but in a cheaper, faster, and more sustainable way. How driver reaction and interaction affects the AEB system.

 

Driver Handover

It is essential to optimise the driver handover and interaction experience for an ADAS or Automated Driving (AD) system, not only for comfort but also for safety. An ineffective and poorly managed driver handover can cause a driver to loose confidence in the system or overreact when regaining control, which could lead to a hazardous situation. Additionally, it is increasingly common for driver safety features such as hand-on-the-wheel warnings to be bypassed or exploited. By stress-testing this system in a simulator, you can ensure that your system cannot be manipulated into a potentially unsafe scenario.

Driver Status Monitoring

As Driver Status Monitoring (DSM) becomes an essential part of a 5-star NCAP Occupant Status Monitoring (OSM) safety score, it is vital to ensure these systems operate perfectly.

This can be easily accomplished using a driving simulator, allowing companies to conduct various controlled tests to verify their DSM functions across different conditions, scenarios, and stress tests. Thanks to the realism of Dynisma’s motion simulators, this virtual testing will generate accurate, reliable data that can be used to refine the systems.

Fault Injection & Dangerous Scenarios

What happens when your vehicle is driving with its AD or ADAS systems active and suddenly a tyre blows out? While offline simulations can attempt to model this, it is only when such a scenario occurs with a driver in the seat that it can be genuinely tested to ensure the system assists the driver rather than hindering and worsening the situation.

However, because of the inherent danger of such scenarios, it is safest to carry out these tests on a simulator to protect driver safety.
