In a partnership that promises to ensure safety, while reducing costs and time to market of new Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS), powertrain major AVL has joined hands with Foretellix to offer the automotive industry a coverage driven and scenario-based verification and validation solution.
A release issued by the companies said the solution will be based on Foretify, Foretellix’s large-scale scenario generation and analysis verification platform, and AVL’s Test Case Generator and Model.CONNECT. These two are key components of AVL’s comprehensive scenario-based open verification and validation toolchain.
The solution allows customers to address the challenges of development and testing cycles of modern ADAS/ADS very efficiently, said the release.
Development and testing of ADAS/ADS is a complex task, where traditional testing methods used in the automotive industry are reaching their limits. These systems are designed to perform better than human drivers and handle a massive number of possible scenarios that may be encountered in even the most infrequent adverse weather and light conditions, as well as numerous traffic and road situations.
“AVL’s Test Case Generator optimises the creation of tests to be executed through intelligent methods, such as road statistics or ontologies. With Foretellix Foretify integrated by Model.CONNECT into virtual testing environments, we lever coverage driven scenario-based validation to the next level,” said Tobias Düser, Head of ADAS/AD Virtual Testing Solutions, AVL.
Foretellix introduced a paradigm shift into the automotive industry with innovative coverage-driven verification and validation tools and methodologies, said Roy Fridman, VP of Business Development and Sales, Foretellix. “Together with AVL’s Test Case Generator and Model.CONNECT environments, we can optimise the verification and validation process and reach unparalleled efficiency,” he said.
