Safety features in vehicles go well beyond pure mechanics these days. New directives such as the General Safety Regulation (GSR) or the current NCAP requirements stipulate electronic ADAS features such as the automated lane keeping system as standard in new developments – including in vehicle types that have not yet been designed with this in mind. This now puts pressure on automobile manufacturers and suppliers. In addition, current labor market conditions in the logistics industry are pushing accelerated advances in autonomous driving for commercial vehicles. Meaning that the search is currently on for solutions that enable ADAS features at Level 4 to be achieved, at least on private land. Another important factor is the end customer’s subjective perception: The driver wants to be able to rely on their vehicle and feel completely safe in it, at all times. ADAS innovations must also meet these customer requirements.
The foundation of every ADAS development by AVL is our detailed knowledge of all relevant standards: from the functional safety standard ISO 26262 to the specification ISO 21448, which ensures the safety of complex ADAS target functions (Safety of the Intended Functionality – SOTIF). Our AVL software architecture builds on these standards, and the ADAS functionality is modelled in full. Our familiarity with all the requirements enables us to work with you to devise perfectly aligned development goals. From numerous validation processes, we have systematically defined a broad range of driving scenarios in databases. This knowledge allows us to supplement your requirements catalog reliably and without gaps. So, you have access to ADAS features that are guaranteed to meet the current standards.
Systems Engineering
For the first phase of your V-cycle, we provide you with the feature description, define the system requirements, and supply the architecture.
Software Implementation
In the implementation phase we provide you with the necessary software modules. Including object recognition and control modules. If you would like a white box, we will supply you with the original content (OC) file, as well as the MATLAB Simulink file, so that you can continue working on this foundation.
Validation
In the crucial final phase, we provide you with meaningful test reports, including coverage reports based on the official safety rating. You will also receive
detailed software documentation. If desired, we can also hand over the test to you.
