Assistance Systems
Driver assistance systems are now integral to vehicle development. They play a decisive role in improving safety and comfort, while also being essential for type approval and Euro NCAP performance. With growing complexity in sensor fusion, software logic and regulatory frameworks, reliable testing and validation under realistic conditions has become indispensable.
We support you across the full spectrum of assistance systems — from sensor characterisation and NCAP-relevant testing to full system validation. So you can be confident your technology performs as it should: reliably, repeatably, and in line with international standards.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as lane keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control must operate reliably in a wide range of environments. A prerequisite for this is the seamless integration of various sensors and algorithms.
Through realistic driving scenarios, both in real traffic and on proving grounds, ADAS functions can be validated in a reproducible way. The tests can be flexibly adapted to your specific requirements. This makes it possible to verify whether systems perform robustly and comply with both current and future regulatory requirements.
Euro NCAP defines the benchmark for safety performance in the European market and beyond. Its protocols evolve continuously, combining passive and active safety requirements that must be addressed by manufacturers.
By applying reproducible test procedures and realistic traffic scenarios, vehicle systems can be assessed in line with NCAP protocols. The resulting data provides a clear basis for demonstrating compliance and achieving reliable safety ratings.
Accurate perception of the driving environment depends on the quality of sensors. Radar, lidar and camera systems must perform reliably, even in challenging conditions such as poor weather, variable lighting or electromagnetic disturbance.
Systematic characterisation under varied environmental conditions reveals sensor capabilities and limitations. The findings allow for targeted optimisation and ensure the long-term reliability of critical components.
The integration of software, electronics and mechanical systems demands end-to-end validation. Different standards, interfaces and subsystem interactions add to the complexity of ensuring dependable system performance.
By combining lab-based testing with controlled proving ground and real-world trials, we help you evaluate complete vehicle functions with confidence. This joined-up approach ensures your assistance systems perform reliably, consistently, and in line with regulatory requirements.
