A Novel Testbench for Development, Calibration and Functional Testing of ADAS/AD Functions

Development of Advanced Driver Assistance (ADAS) Systems and Automated Driving (AD) technologies require extensive calibration, testing and validation before such systems can be rolled out into the production line. It is in the interest of the OEMs to speed up these development cycles to ensure compliance with the expected performance requirements. In this paper, a novel steerable chassis dynamometer test bench with a corresponding methodology is introduced to develop and test ADAS/AD technologies. A use case example of tuning the camera-based implementations of the lane keeping assistant (LKA) and adaptive cruise control (ACC) functions on an AD demonstrator vehicle utilizing this test bench is described with preliminary performance results.
