Hexagon takes Adas Software Innovation to the next level with cloud -based quality test automation solution

Hexagon’s new cloud -based new solution simplifies Adas software tests by integrating comprehensive car ambient data and security scenarios into automatic continuous software integration and test workflows from the “real world”.

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence team offers a new cloud -based solution to test, train and verify advanced driver support systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle systems. Virtual Test Drive X (VTDX), which takes advantage of hyper -scale calculation and automation solutions, allows the automatically verifying the quality and function of the automotive sector against thousands of real world scenarios and accelerates the time of secure mobility innovations.

Software solutions that play an increasing role in vehicle design allow the development of innovations that offer convenience and security to customers. However, today, the software defined tools (SDVs), which are common, makes the work of automotive teams that develop island features. The use of more sensors, advanced chips and operating systems in vehicles and the implementation of increasingly complex artificial intelligence and software algorithms lead to prolongation of software development and testing processes and thus delaying tool launch and feature distribution. Safety and compliance are of course extremely important; However, the impact of today’s situation on producers is also clear. Inadequate performance island features disappoint customers And vehicle recall significantly affect brand loyalty and profits.

Adaming quality and security in Adas software development process is very costly and time consuming, but the cost of relieving defects when a vehicle is ready for production is critical because it is fifteen times higher*. VTDX has been developed to provide solutions to these challenges with a comprehensive service offered by use -based pricing, which facilitates scaling of virtual prototyping and reduces high costs and safety risks associated with physical tests. This solution in the Software (SAAS) category has been created to use Hexagon’s cloud computing power and automation of the Nexus digital reality platform, and provides meticulous tests for continuous test and integration workflows for island and autonomous vehicle systems.

Adas engineers can easily create and configure their tested systems (SUT), such as island algorithms from a intuitive web interface. Adas engineers can confirm their SUTs with high accuracy of physical -based simulations obtained from the environmental simulation motor, taking advantage of 15 years of expertise in Hexagon. When developers conduct a test, software (Software-in-the-loop) test programs in the loop compatible with VTDX, OpenRIVE and OpenScenario standard. Companies can significantly reduce delays in configuration and calculation times for standardized SIL test programs by automatically editing dozens or thousands of simulation of as many scenarios as necessary.

VTDX was developed due to the centralization of electrical/electronic (E/E) architecture and the dramatic change of Adas as a result of the regulations. VTDX allows the use of new SDV test strategies compatible with modern software development applications and integrates vital physical safety test applications specific to the island component of the vehicle code base. High efficiency, advanced scalable code test and integration approach provide the following benefits:

Continuous integration and continuous test (CI/CT): Provides faster software repetitions and versions by allowing continuous development, integration and tests.

Perfect Workflow Integration: Easily integrated with existing island development software, modern, well -defined APIs and open media simulation standards integrate into existing customer workflows.

Ease of use: Intuitive sensor configurations and test scenarios that offer ease of cluster.

Scalability: Between global teams, parallel scenario between the execution work and real -time cooperation by supporting the execution work and ensures that various island development needs are scalable.

Cloud Usability: VTDX, which is offered as a special and special saas, can be easily used by small and large -scale organizations with use -based pricing and 24/7 usability.

Accessibility: Users can share a project with a worldwide team members by using scenario settings and results through a user -friendly web -based platform.

VTDX, which is open for the first time today, has been well welcomed between Hexagon’s automotive OEMs and the first level (Tier 1) customer base due to its intuitive, extremely efficient user experience, automation of thousands of code test simulation and use -based pricing. VTDX has been developed in close cooperation with Microsoft Azure team, Unreal Engine Provides visualization of fotokerçekçi and developed by Asam OPENSCENARIO And OPENDRIVE It supports its standards in full.

Mash Kailasam, General Manager of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Department, summarizes this new solution with the following words: ık We have taken into consideration the CI/CT processes of cloud -based island simulation software and we want to provide solutions to the difficulties of software in the automotive sector. It offers many important benefits, whether shortening or automating workflows. ”

VTDX ensures that manufacturers in the automotive sector can tightly test and verify the island and autonomous vehicle systems in a sıl environment and ensure that security and performance can be provided at the necessary level. As of today, VTDX is offered as a public saas with use -based pricing in Nexus and is offered on the cloud on demand.
