Konrad Technologies, SET collaborate on custom testing for driver assistance systems

Both companies are successful system providers for automotive testing solutions

Konrad Technologies GmbH, a specialist on sensor fusion for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and SET GmbH, a specialist on Hardware in the Loop (HiL) testing, are teaming up to develop custom ADAS testing systems. The two companies seek to focus on reviewing the Total Cost of Test (TCoT), which allows a significant reduction thereof through suitable standardization efforts. To test modern ADAS sensors efficiently, Konrad has developed target simulators for camera, radar, and LiDAR sensors. The software for radar target simulation by Konrad offers the opportunity to simulate typical driving scenarios in a laboratory environment, thus allowing a controllable and reproducible testing framework. Based on the National Instruments VST, a Vector Signal Transceiver, Konrad developed an editor that allows the user to create complex scenarios that can be automatically reproduced. With (HiL), individual parts of an integrated system can be simulated and tested in a virtual environment in real-time.
