focus: Can you describe the use
case of the customer project you
are working on?
Teichtmeister: The main aspect is to
provide both raw data and associat-
ed tags to support ADAS function
development. We provide the inte-
grated measurement equipment, the
global raw data collection, and the
manual and automatic labelling of
the data.
Then we apply the data logistics
process from the road to the data
center, ensuring data quality and in-
tegrity. Finally, a data management
tool (AAP) is provided to allow the
customer to search for relevant data
based on tags or vehicle bus data.
focus: What is the added value for
the customer when working with
AVL?
Teichtmeister: We support the cus-
tomer in the road-to-lab transition
with SiL validation instead of com-
prehensive road testing. This allows
a significant saving of development
time and cost.

driven, supported by our global tech center network.
Finally, we transfer the data to the data center for fur-
ther preparation and analysis with our Big Data and An-
alytics Platform. In this way, we ensure high degrees of
automation, delivering the most value in the minimum
time to optimize both costs and quality.
We conduct these services as engineering projects with
our experts, or provide the tools, software and training
on our customer’s sites to enable them to carry out proj-
ects by themselves.
SUPPORTING A FLEDGLING INDUSTRY
With ADAS and AD the automotive industry is in the pro-
cess of being reborn and this transformation brings both
obstacles and challenges. Very few players in the market
have the full toolchain or domain know-how necessary to
bring their products to market unsupported. With AVL’s
data management offerings and trusted industry know-
how, we are empowering established OEMs and new en-
trants alike with the tools and the capability they need to
compete confidently in a new automotive landscape, re-
gardless of their own experience or capabilities.

and proving ground. The collect-
ed data can then be used for activ-
ities such as comprehensive resim-
ulation, to fully expose the system
under test to the maximum num-
ber of realistic scenarios and ensure
proper functionality under all de-
fined conditions.
Optimizing the value of data means
designing test activities that deliv-
er the best results in the shortest
time with minimal effort. To sup-
port this, data must also be record-
ed, stored, processed and analyzed
as quickly and simply as possible.
All for the purpose of delivering the
best insights and enabling faster and
more robust decision making. With
such vast quantities of data it’s im-
possible to do this manually, so we
employ automated processes to ex-
tract the most value possible from
your data.
Our data-as-a-service business
model includes all necessary de-

end – beginning with specifying the
data acquisition requirements, fol-
