Developing driver assistance systems with environment sensors
New, intelligent driver assistance systems (DAS) capture the vehicle's environment using sensors such as video, radar and lidar. When in-vehicle rapid control prototyping (RCP) systems are used in DAS development, data from sensors has to be preprocessed, merged and recorded time-synchronously with other measurement variables.
To perform function verification of DAS electronic control units (ECUs) with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators, previously recorded real sensor data has to be integrated, and virtual test drives have to be carried out in the laboratory.
EB Assist ADTF (Automotive Data and Time Triggered Framework), developed by Audi Electronics Venture GmbH, is an established tool in this field. It provides a neat way to couple several systems via the UDP/IP-based ADTF Message Bus. The new ADTF Blockset from dSPACE is used to implement bidirectional, low-latency communication between dSPACE real-time systems and EB Assist ADTF via the ADTF Message Bus. To use the dSPACE ADTF Blockset, the appropriate hardware and software from dSPACE Release 6.5 is needed for Ethernet connection, plus EB Assist ADTF Version 2.4 or higher.
