SIP-adus Workshop 2021

Abstracts & Speakers List

Safety AssuranceOverview
The virtual environment is an indispensable technology for the realization of security. So as to accelerate the expansion of virtual testing technology for safety assurance, the international cooperation on the requirements for the virtual environment and the method of validation should be enhanced. The virtual environment and evaluation methods are discussed in this session in order to figure out how to proceed with future collaboration and harmonization.

    Germany

    Virtual validation of radar sensors for assisted and automated driving

    Virtual validation using artificial scenarios is “state-of-the-art” for camera technologies since several years. Continental already uses artificial scenarios for all camera developments including front-camera, SV camera and interior camera systems. This is empowered by high performance GPU clusters and the availability of very efficient raytracing rendering frameworks.

    For radar, virtual validation using artificial scenarios is still in research phase. We will share the current status from scenario generation using open interfaces such as OSI (Open Simulation Interface), Open Scenegraph, OpenDrive (HD maps) via raytracing rendering up to radar signal processing and tracking in virtual environments.
