ADAS AD Virtual Platform for End to End Software Development and Testing

ADAS/AD functions integrate complex perception systems, combine sensors of different technology, and deal with complex traffic scenarios while guaranteeing safety. During software development and testing, a large number of corner cases need to be tested and additional cases have to be discovered; therefore, the final number of kilometers required for certification can explode exponentially. To achieve time-to-market and feasible development costs, ADAS/AD requires strong support from the simulation. Furthermore, each project has unique requirements, a different scope, and must be implemented throughout different vehicle platforms with relevant hardware and software differences.

However, the perfect tool that gathers all your project requirements does not yet exist. Nonetheless, many high-quality software solutions can simulate sensors, traffic, vehicle dynamics, driver behavior, and realistic environments with the level of detail that every project needs. This combination of the best software solutions currently on the market can meet most project requirements. At Porsche Engineering—more precisely at the Porsche Engineering ADAS Testing Centre (PEVATeC) —we bring together the best tools, data sources, and experience in automotive and ADAS to create and provide a flexible modular simulation platform that supports end-to-end ADAS/AD development.
