Managing ADAS testing on the proving ground is becoming increasingly complex. As test protocols evolve, test volumes increase, and infrastructure requirements grow, engineering teams must navigate a more demanding and resource-intensive workflow. Delays and inconsistencies can occur at any stage: from scenario preparation to result evaluation and reporting. Fragmented toolchains, limited real-time visibility, and heavy reliance on expert input further slow down processes. In an environment where manual effort is still common and cost pressures are rising, efficiency, standardization, and scalability have become essential.
Evolving Protocols
Consumer and regulatory protocols such as NCAP and UNR are frequently updated, introducing new scenarios, vehicle configurations, and stricter assessment criteria. Engineering teams must keep up with these changes, adapt quickly, and ensure validation is both timely and precise – often with limited resources.
Expertise Bottlenecks
Reliable ADAS validation requires deep expertise: from understanding protocol logic to diagnosing test failures and interpreting results. However, this knowledge is often concentrated in a few individuals, making teams vulnerable to bottlenecks and resource gaps when those experts aren’t available or fully utilized.
Fragmented Workflows
In many organizations, test execution, validation, and reporting rely on separate systems and manual workflows. This fragmentation slows down preparation and makes it harder to respond effectively during test sessions. Without immediate feedback and integrated evaluation, issues are often identified too late, leading to avoidable re-runs and prolonged test cycles.
From Effort to Efficiency
With increasing expectations and limited capacity, proving ground teams need more than incremental improvements to stay on track. Accelerated test cycles, integrated evaluations and protocols, as well as automated reporting are no longer nice-to-haves. They’re becoming critical to keep up. A smarter, workflow-driven approach is key to managing complexity and delivering consistent, protocol-compliant results at scale.
The AVL Smart ADAS Analyzer™ includes a comprehensive set of pre-configured evaluation packages for NCAP, UNR, and other global protocols, eliminating the need to build evaluation logic from scratch. It also supports configurable protocols to meet specific development needs. The software provides immediate feedback on the test track, automates data import, validation, and scoring, and delivers synchronized visualization and standardized report generation – enabling fast, consistent, and fully compliant ADAS validation on the proving ground.

Instant Test Validation and Scoring – Less Testing Time
The Smart ADAS Analyzer supports predefined test plans and performance indicators for all NCAP-related scenarios - with a single click. Test execution data is automatically imported and evaluated and the test operator is immediately informed of any test boundary violations, the test validity, and its scoring.
Automated Import and Validation of Test Data
Extensive test data analysis and visualization is executed in real time, without any manual post processing. The advanced signal analysis functions help to identify and correct any test problems and validation failures.
Ready to Use Report Templates – Fast Reporting Generation
Individual reports (e.g. for NCAP), together with an overall rating for full maneuver catalogues, can be automatically or manually generated after successful proving ground test execution. The set of report templates include a predefined and standardized set of NCAP report templates that can be adapted to customer requirements.
Open Interfaces
The Smart ADAS Analyzer offers a consistent toolchain with open interfaces to be integrated in different environments, such as proving grounds, HiL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), testbeds or simulation, with equipment from different manufacturers.
