Developing Driver Assistance Systems Efficiently and Precisely
The dSPACE Automotive Simulation Models (ASM) can now work together with PreScan, a software program from TASS for high-quality sensor and environment simulation. This tool combination enables developers to optimize the efficiency of intelligent assistance systems at an early stage with highly precise sensor simulation and flexible, reproducible traffic simulation.
ASM PreScan provides extensive options for defining sensor systems such as cameras, radar and lidar (light detection and ranging) at expert level. For example, sensors from different manufacturers and with different characteristics can be used and their behavior can be tested in virtual traffic scenarios. The reflection properties of objects such as the radar image of a tanker truck are also supported.
All this means that new concepts and ideas can be simulated realistically on a developer PC in early phases of development, thereby speeding up the development of intelligent vehicles.
