Lane Detection for Automated Driving
As of version 8.2, the Automotive
Simulation Models (ASM) provide
new functions for environment and
sensor definition, so you can perform
realistic simulations of construction
site assistants and lane departure
warning systems. This gives you greater
flexibility for creating the lines required
for lanes, parking spots and other
road markings, making it possible to
represent all of the marking types
considered in the EU regulation
351/2012. You can now also create
lines, barriers, and other objects inde-
pendently of the lanes to create com-
plex construction site scenarios. To
visualize the simulation of such sce-
narios, the 3-D animation software
MotionDesk also includes an extended
library with construction site objects.
This video shows you the new fea-
tures for defining construction site
scenarios.

SYNECT: Mastering Complex HIL Systems and
Managing TargetLink Models Centrally
Complex processes, such as those for
large HIL systems, are easy to handle
with the established dSPACE Work-
flow Management solution. With the
help of workflows, users can prepare
the dSPACE tool chain for handling
high numbers of variants and ver-
sions. Test automation makes the
processes reproducible and reliable.
For example, it is possible to open
the modeling environment and auto-
mate everything up to the real-time
application or prepare a HIL simula-
tor for manual and/or automatic tests
in a very short time. The basis for
workflow management is SYNECT® ,
the dSPACE data management soft-
ware for model-based development
and ECU testing. It enables develop-
ers to centrally manage data such
as variant information, tests, and
models.
A new add-on makes it possible to
connect dSPACE’s production code
generator, TargetLink®, so function
and software developers can man-
age their models, related interfaces,
signals and parameters in SYNECT.
Interface inconsistencies are easier
to find and prevent, and individual
models can easily be integrated to
make an overall model. Because the
managed data is interconnected,
data adjustments and their effects
are transparent, and modifications
are traceable. This makes it much
easier for teams to work on distrib-
uted, component-based develop-
ment.
