What are we doing?

Virtual Proving Gound

Let us develop a dedicated virtual proving ground for your needs. We design for your specific needs and plan the required test setups as you go on with your development process.

AD Feature Development

Automated Driving is not a destination, it is the journey itself. Step by step let us demonstrate your ideas on your virtual proving ground. We simulate the vehicle, the environment, the actors and the sensors. We implement your requirements and demonstrate virtually. During the rest of the project, we are also ready for support. Do you want to switch to real world, we are also willing to develop.

Support

We can still do more for you. We are experienced and competent. Let us support you from virtual world to real world. Do you need engineering or consultancy? We are always ready to provide more.

Virtual Proving Ground

Tailored for your needs

You need a proving ground to demonstrate and test your features? We can offer a tailored one fully virtual and exactly designed for your needs. We offer a shortcut all in one virtually, you will experience a new development process that provides early evaluation and feedback.  

All in one virtual validation

It is all an integrated design process starting from requirements to test but virtually. Let us define, implement and test virtually. All in one process, fast and effective. 

Originating from your requirements

You have the idea, concept, and requirements? Let's take an agile step to see how it is in action. On the virtual proving ground, see how it feels the drive with this feature. If you are satisfied, feel to invest with less risk.

Drive your car and test virtually

Sometimes it is only a feeling that matters! See your defined feature on the virtual proving ground, how it feels to drive. User acceptance is sometimes what counts.

Early feedback 

It is a race to the market. You have a roadmap? Put our virtual proving ground tests to the schedule. Get early feedback and a solid definition. Avoid unnecessary iterations.

Best move before going real

It is always a tough decision to invest. Before you give a go, prove virtually that it is a good user experience at all. Invest smart, prove virtually.

Our Technology

Our virtual proving grounds are designed and realized in Unity. After the first input you provide about your needs, we start to design the proving ground specially defined by the test process. The required test scenarios are detailed and documented in conjuction with the proving ground design.

All is an integrated framework. We provide an interface using FMU 2.0 to integrate vehicle drive train, brake and steering behaviour. The sensor data processing can be implemented by C/C++ or Python according to your needs. We provide the data transfer method to your executables.

The virtual proving ground environment to test the AD algorithms is implemented by the famous 3D game engine UNITY. The vehicle behavior is simulated by the integration of FMU 2.0 model that can be generated by tools such as OpenModelica, MATLAB ... The data processing algorithms can be implemented by C/C++ or python running in parallel by the UNITY engine where the data is transferred by shared memory. Fast and real-time. See the details in our white paper which you can download from the link. The company introduction can be downloaded from this link.

Get our sample proving ground

We provide a sample proving ground to demonstrate the notion of the concept. Here the proving ground is a 2 lane road with the necessary curvature to test the LDW. The road has a damaged texture and the lanes are low-quality faint. The road has different luminosities to test and validate the robustness of the tested algorithms.  The sensor set is consisting only of a front camera with a typical aperture and resolution. You can download the environment from the link. The executable can be executed from windows and the prerequisites are defined in the read me files.

Get our sample LDW feature

Maybe the most well know and common Level-1 feature used in today's vehicles is Lane Departure Warning. The feature utilizes the front camera and detects the lanes. If any unintended lane departure is detected the feature issues a warning. The necessary Visual C++ project and source codes can be dorwnloaded from the link. This is a standalone executable that runs in parallel with the UNITY environment which processes front camera video using the well-known image processing library OpenCV.
