Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as collision avoidance, lane departure warning, parking assistance, and back-up alerts must adhere to a high level of safety requirements, and they are enabled by a large amount of embedded software to provide necessary intelligence and safety. Therefore, this software requires intensive testing and validation. A powerful tool chain from dSPACE supports engineering and validating of embedded software of these complex systems. This tool chain includes a virtual development environment with vehicle, sensor, traffic, and environment automotive simulation models (ASM), hardware-in-the-loop (SCALEXIO HIL) systems, VEOS PC-based simulation platform, stand-alone and in-vehicle prototyping systems, 3D online animation software, universal experiment and instrumentation software, and tools for graphical description of test sequences as well as code generation directly from Simulink/Stateflow models.
