Introduction
Camera-based and in particular radar-based driver assistance systems open up huge potential for increasing comfort and safety levels in the vehicle. Alongside the "classic" stability control (ESP), examples include dynamic distance control, parking assistants, preventive braking intervention, lane departure warning systems, monitoring of blind spots and night vision assistance. An OEM from the premium segment requested help on a job where innovative assistance systems were to be made ready for series production in time for a new vehicle model to be launched.
The IndustrieHansa team impressively rose up to the challenges entrusted to the partner responsible for this work.
Solution: Using Matlab/Simulink, TargetLink, dSpace and CANoe and within the framework of the IEC 61508 and ISO/WD 26262 process standards (ASIL A to D), all aspects of the project from the production of specifications to approval for series production were overseen and completed on time.
Puncture points
- Development of software functions ready for series production for controlled assistance systems
- Development of error handling routines in the controller models
- Undertaking and evaluation of tests on test rigs and in the vehicle
- Preparations for and undertaking development and approval tests
Benefits
The main project objective of new driver assistance systems being ready for series production on time was met. By constantly overseeing the entire process from the production of specifications to approval for series production, our development and test engineers implemented a comprehensive quality assurance system. The team reliably uncovered inadequacies in the hardware and software. These were systematically remedied such that risks to the market launch date could be detected in good time and averted.
