A multi-functional altitude simulation system called MEDAS helps vehicle and engine manufacturers decrease development and testing timeframes. The MEDAS system is a compact altitude simulator that supplies the correct atmospheric conditions to reproduce a wide range of environmental scenarios. It is suited for a variety of testing applications, including calibration, durability, and road to rig […]
High-rez time-of-flight sensor targets robotic, AGV apps

The sensor supports the latest industrial applications, including vision-guided robotics, logistics, and automated guided vehicles. Hydra3D’s high resolution and flexible configuration, combined with its on-chip HDR, make it ideal for outdoor applications such […]
Optimizing in-vehicle data networks
Physical channels have limits that affect the practicalities of automotive network architecture and communication protocols. Here’s the lowdown on current work aimed at breaking bandwidth bottlenecks. CHRIS RUSCH, BERT BERGNER | TE Connectivity It has become a truism that we have an insatiable appetite for data. Not so obvious is the effect our need for […]
The sense-think-act model of autonomous vehicles
Electronics and software tend to be more important than the mechanics of autonomous vehicles. This shift has serious implications for how vehicles are designed. Puneet Sinha | Mechanical Analysis Div., Mentor, a Siemens business Though certain autonomous functions, especially driver-assist and active-safety features, have started to show up in some recent-model vehicles, the goal of […]
CAN for better autonomous vehicles
Handing data-intensive lidar and radar processing at the sensor itself can let CAN connections make autonomous vehicle networking more economical. KENT LENNARTSSON | Kvaser AB There’s no question that as the autonomous driving capabilities advance, so do the requirements for transmitting large amounts of data. A 2017 paper by Stephan Heinrich, currently a systems architect […]
Safety and cyber security for the connected car
Even the best coding practices are likely to result in vehicles infected with 10,000 software bugs. Simulated attacks can sniff out vulnerabilities before the car hits the road. Hwee Yng Yeo, Rick Kundi | Keysight Technologies The era of the connected car, and a growing concern over cybersecurity threats, is here. Safeguarding the connected car […]
The data-driven road to automated driving
Data replay and enrichment tools help analyze driving scenarios and verify simulations based on real-world events. Jace Allen, ADAS/AD Engineering and Business Development, dSPACE Inc. For ADAS and highly automated driving (HAD) applications, the road to homologation–the process of showing a product meets regulatory standards and specifications — is a long journey that begins and […]
More accurate positioning for autonomous vehicles
Next-generation inertial measurements will figure the where-abouts of AVs with centimeter-level precision. Reem Malik | ACEINNA Inc. Underlying any autonomous technology is the promise and necessity of superior safety. The technology in any autonomous vehicle helps it navigate the world around it; to do it safely and precisely is of utmost importance. The increasingly sophisticated […]
Modular test platform helps validate ADAS, autonomous driving functions
A modular test platform is said to accelerate the validation of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and functions for autonomous driving. Keysight, IPG Automotive and Nordsys have established a multi-year collaboration to create the Autonomous Drive Emulation (ADE) platform, a setup which will emulate synchronized connections to all relevant sensors in a car such as the […]
Test software helps evaluate C-V2X PC5 communications technology
The LTE C-V2X PC5 Communications Software MX725000A provides engineers with a cost-efficient tool to evaluate products and systems utilizing PC5 of Cellular V2X (C-V2X) technology. The software links a communications reference module, V2X emulator software, and GNSS simulator to support evaluation of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) PC5 communications used in emerging vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) designs.
