Safeguarding functions and HW using HIL for automated driving systems

Multi-sensor environmental detection and capturing systems are the decisive technical enablers in automated vehicle functions. The basic safeguarding of their controllers using HIL, the time and cost-efficient testing of the associated sensors, and the entire process chain of environmental model and driving strategy in the laboratory are all factors that will be of major importance in the future launch of safe products. In addition, the laboratory environment enables comparisons of different methods and software modules in automated driving in the form of benchmarking.
