SEAMLESS TESTING FROM A SINGLE SOURCE

Seamless testing from a single source

With a global presence and many years of experience as an independent partner to the automotive industry, the EDAG Group offers innovative solutions for seamlessly integrated testing of holistic vehicle systems. Benefit from comprehensive testing of complex components and reliable cause-and-effect chain validation – all from a single source.

To ensure the homologation of autonomous driving systems, we rely on efficient testing that meets the highest quality standards. Due to their high complexity, autonomous driving systems in particular place special demands on the validation of a wide range of interactions and scenarios. Our state-of-the-art test environments, such as the EMC center or the unique Zero Prototype Lab, provide ideal conditions for validating the market readiness of autonomous technologies through real-world tests.

For meaningful AD safety statements, we use forward-looking virtual XiL test procedures, driving maneuver catalog tests, and scenario-based validations – both in the virtual realm and on the road. We use intelligent strategies to ensure that the appropriate test methods are used. In addition, we offer benchmarking analyses to evaluate the performance of your product in comparison to other models and standards.

Benefit from our comprehensive service, which optimally meets your requirements and enables seamless testing of autonomous vehicle systems.

Topic overview


Efficient testing in all phases of vehicle development

With a structured AD test strategy, we are driving forward the product testing and maturity of autonomous systems in a targeted manner.

The focus of public discourse is the demand that driverless vehicles should match or even exceed the level of human performance in terms of functionality and safety. We want to meet this expectation by thoroughly testing connected systems and autonomous vehicles. Among other things, we use state-of-the-art test laboratories, XiL test stations and our ATPS. The results of virtual testing can be carried over 1:1 into the real world.
 

The extensive testing required to create and implement well-founded safety arguments is made more efficient by adapting scenario and parameter catalogs to local conditions and by complying with country-specific regulations.

Through continuous testing, our experts ensure that your innovations are not only technically advanced, but also internationally competitive and compliant.
 

Features of a comprehensive test of highly automated systems

For testing your vehicle systems, we primarily use our own XiL test procedures and various test driving methods, depending on the product. This is how we ensure the reliability and functionality of all system components in both virtual and real environments.

Thanks to the seamless integration of SiL (software-in-the-loop), HiL (hardware-in-the-loop) and ViL (vehicle-in-the-loop) 

test methods, we accompany the entire development process and ensure consistently high quality. Even in the early development phases, our comprehensive (virtual) testing enables the evaluation of perception systems, targeted sensor testing and reliable OTA update testing.

How we test autonomous vehicle systems

  • Analysis

      To accurately test the complex control software and hardware of autonomous vehicles, we first analyze input variables such as technical parameters, scenarios, objectives and system requirements. This allows us to identify the optimal methods for seamless testing of your autonomous systems.

  • Concept

      Our testing follows a standardized procedure that ensures all relevant system requirements are covered. Within this structure, our experts develop customized strategies to simulate realistic and relevant conditions for your vehicle and to test as many scenarios as possible in the most efficient way.

  • Testing/validation

      The validation of highly automated driving functions is carried out by our software labs and, if necessary, complemented by hardware tests in state-of-the-art test centers such as the Zero Prototype Lab (ZPL). Fully automated vehicle tests can be carried out almost around the clock, thus accelerating the validation processes and the time to market of your products. We guarantee the testability of your vehicles and components.

  • Evaluation

      The test results are evaluated on the basis of clearly defined criteria and metrics from the test specification. This allows us to quickly assess whether a (sub)system or a functional chain has achieved the desired level of maturity.

The advantages of seamless testing from a single source

  • Efficient use of resources: Through precise testing in the virtual metaverse, your vehicle systems can be verified before they are actually manufactured. We rely on digital prototypes in our innovative Zero Prototype Lab for this. This efficient testing strategy saves development resources and shortens development times.
  • Maximum transparency: Our networked test procedure checks all relevant scenarios and offers you full transparency regarding the functionality of your systems. Together with our mobility experts, we identify and eliminate potential problems quickly and effectively.
  • Accelerated product maturity: Thanks to seamless AD system testing and integrated quality monitoring, your products reach the highest possible maturity faster and are ready for the market.
  • Maximum product safety: Comprehensive testing of all components in state-of-the-art test environments guarantees reliable product safety. This not only strengthens the trust of your customers, but also gives your company security in sales and operations.
