PARKING FEATURE OPTIMIZATION
Optimizing parking features with the EDAG Group and ATPS
Autonomous Mobility also includes the optimization and further development of autonomous and assisted parking systems. For this purpose, the EDAG Group developed the Automated Testcenter for Parking Systems (ATPS) – an intelligent, automated infrastructure for careful, high-quality testing.
The ATPS combines the efficiency of automated validations with the precise results of real-world driving tests. Automated and individually adaptable parking scenarios are created, while the execution is precisely tracked and analyzed in real time by state-of-the-art environment sensors. All tests are reproducible.
This approach not only improves the quality and accuracy of the tests, but also significantly reduces time to market. We are at your side from the definition of the test requirements to the test reports and provide holistic approaches for the evaluation of corner cases.
The aim is to increase the scope and quality of the tests and the associated parking features. At the same time, the results should be made available to the developers at an early stage.
Topic overview
The ATPS approach: the efficient development of park features
The goal of park feature optimization is not only to improve existing park assist systems, but also to develop new autonomous parking functions – from safe, error-free parking to autonomous parking space search.
However, traditional testing and innovation processes are often time-consuming and costly, which can affect the quality of the results.
ATPS provides a highly automated, intelligent infrastructure that makes vehicle and function testing faster, more efficient, and of higher quality.
Our focus is on accurate, fully reproducible validation, automated analysis, and precise benchmarking of results.
