Vehicle-Hardware-In-The-Loop system for ADAS prototyping and validation

This paper introduces an innovative system easing prototyping and validation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for automotive applications. This system, based on a chassis-dynamometer and a multi-sensor simulation software, act as a virtual reality platform for intelligent vehicle. This system allows to test and validate complex ADAS systems under various simulated environmental conditions and scenario without the cost, complexity and hazard associated with test-drives. It can also be used early in the design process to test and validate the integration of multiple ADAS in a vehicle. This system is being used for the Virtual Testing applications in the DESERVE1 project.
