Together with Rohde & Schwarz and Stähle we designed completely new testing opportunities. Based on these strategic collaborations, we can now perform steering on the test-bed and radar-enabled and GNSS-based testing and validation under safe and reproducible conditions at vehicle level. With real built-in sensors being artificially simulated, no modifications of the vehicle are required. The AVL DRIVINGCUBE paves a new way for the acceleration of the validation and approval process of ADAS and AD systems. You can also benefit from our cutting-edge testing services, exclusive partner network and deep engagement with legal bodies and authorities

Dynamic Steering Force Emulator
This module is a retrofit extension to vehicles to allow a full range of steering capability with accurate force feedback from the virtual road. When attached to the vehicle, it is used to validate ADAS/AD functions that require realistic steering like active Lane Keeping Systems.
Radar Stimulator
The radar generates independently moving and realistic targets for automotive radar sensors during the test drive - without mechanically moving parts and with minimum footprint. A wide range of radar sensor types can be stimulated over-the-air.
Camera stimulator
The camera stimulator allows the easy over-the-air stimulation of automotive cameras required for the validation of ADAS/AD function testing. No access to the vehicle camera is required.
GNSS Stimulator
It allows the dynamic stimulation of global navigation satellite system receivers with all possible positions on earth, while the vehicle is driving on a testbed. It supports standards like GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU and GALILEO.
The AVL DRIVINGCUBE™ at the TU Berlin has already proven itself as a highly efficient test environment for the analysis of electrified and automated vehicles in several research and industry projects.
