Berner & Mattner Systemtechnik has brought the European Space Agency-funded study ‘SafeRail - Improving Safety at Railway Level Crossings’ to a successful conclusion. The results were officially presented on 9th October 2014 at the European Space Research and Technology Centre, Noordwijk, Netherlands, then thoroughly discussed at the European Level Crossing Forum, 13th November, Rome.

Berner & Mattner, the development service provider that specialises in systems engineering and testing procedures, has released the new version 3.9 of its MESSINA test system. This test platform enables model-based testing of ECUs from models to HiL test benches, and now additionally offers an EtherCAT connection and FMI (Functional Mockup Interface) for verifying models in different modelling languages.

Berner & Mattner have presented a study on the subject of Human Machine Interface: ‘Smart Multi-Axis Control’ implements control of a multi-axis grabbing arm using intuitive gestures made on a commercially available smartphone. The smartphone’s sensors transmit movement data to the MESSINA real-time platform using a Java server. This data is then instantly converted into control commands for the robotic grabbing arm.

In a joint effort, the consultant and software developer Berner & Mattner and the Centre for Research on Evolution, Search and Testing (CREST) of the University College London (UCL) are developing methods for the evolutionary generation of test scenarios for the automotive industry.
