The Integration Core addresses these challenges by offering a comprehensive testing solution that seamlessly integrates with fast-paced development cycles. Built on AVL’s extensive experience, it delivers a holistic ADAS/AD HiL testing platform capable of generating high-fidelity sensor data, ideal for covering modern ADAS/AD vehicle architectures. Its flexible I/O, powerful hardware, and comprehensive software ensure seamless automation and uncompromised system-level testing performance.
HiL Use Case
Utilizing real hardware requires a test system with sufficient I/O capabilities to inject simulation data into the vehicle architecture and ensure real-time simulation. The Integration Core provides a real-time capable computing platform designed for HiL testing environments, with interfacing capabilities ranging from signal-based injection to ADAS/AD sensor stimulation. This enables system-level testing of your vehicle's E/E architecture in both the functional safety and scenario-based domains – with precision and repeatability.
ViL Use Case
Thanks to the ability to connect to vehicle testbeds, including powertrain and chassis test beds, as well as modules like the AVL Dynamic Steering Force Emulator, the Integration Core supports Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL) testing. This enables your ready-to-drive vehicle to be tested in a virtual environment, ensuring safe and reproducible testing with a fully integrated vehicle.
The Integration Core acts as the central computing unit for your testing needs, seamlessly connecting your System-under-Test to the virtual testing environment. It offers a wide range of interfaces for simulation and injection solutions, including conventional I/O, physical ADAS/AD sensor stimulation, and realistic sensor behavior replication for direct raw data injection. This ever-expanding interface ecosystem stays up to date with modern vehicle sensor trends and can be customized to meet your specific requirements.
Versatile Interfaces
Offers a rich set of interfaces for simulation and extensive high-bandwidth sensor data injection, addressing the challenge of testing complex vehicle architectures.
Fast Testing Cycles
Keeps pace with fast CI/CD cycles, ensuring your ADAS/AD systems are thoroughly validated without delaying development.
Smart System Architecture
Hypervisor technology allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently, enhancing performance, reliability and enabling real-time co-simulation.
Smart Software Meets Powerful Hardware
The Integration Core allows multiple purpose-built operating systems to run concurrently on a single hardware platform, optimizing performance and efficiency. It supports real-time co-simulation, which is crucial for accurate and responsive testing.
Building on this robust foundation, the Integration Core offers maximum flexibility through its connectable I/O and various software tools. Automation tools with open interfaces streamline the testing process, while the Component Manager software simplifies ADAS/AD stimulator management. Additionally, the Integration Core supports various 3D environment simulations, adapting to the specific needs of your vehicle.
Scenario-Based Validation in One ADAS/AD Testing System
The Integration Core is designed to seamlessly integrate with AVL SCENIUS™, a comprehensive solution for scenario-based ADAS/AD safety testing and validation. SCENIUS covers everything from requirement engineering to scenario creation and management, test case planning, execution, and reporting. This combination supports a modern CI/CD - CI/CT workflow, enabling easy test planning and execution of software-driven refinements for your vehicle - all on a single platform.
Open Interfaces for Environment Simulation
Our platform supports seamless integration of a wide range of environment simulators, enabling you to create realistic and diverse testing scenarios. Whether you need urban traffic, highway conditions, or even off-road environments, the Integration Core ensures that your ADAS/AD validation workflows remain adaptable and future-proof. Integration is powered by the AVL Scenario Simulator, which acts as the central hub for connecting different simulation tools and environments.
