Standardization as Key to Integration
The array of differing approaches means that there is often

functions. However, objective analysis of this type is essential
for guaranteeing successful integration. Modern ADAS/AD
functions have to process immense volumes of data, this
process is in need of standardization.
AVL applies a holistic approach based on a high level of
system knowledge. We have combined a number of tools
from the entire spectrum of AVL expertise to overcome the
challenges of software integration and the V&V of ADAS/AD
functions. The result is a complete solution that enables OEMs
to streamline their offerings. This makes it easier for them
to develop the desired functions from the concept phase to
series production, with the requisite scalability.
Connection and Automation for V&V
In order to achieve optimum consistency across all phases,
we have standardized the import methodology for all types
of tests. Customer requirements are translated into data
records that are directly linked to the V&V tasks, meaning
that subsequent creation of the check catalog is largely
automated. This ensures that the customer requirements are
implemented and that all legal requirements are completely
met.

such as “braking in the case of an imminent accident”, are
converted directly into a testing instruction. The routes for
these test drives are automatically created and continuously
optimized based on important features (e.g. frequent speed
limits). This leads to the creation of a digital logbook that is
also used in the validation phase if end-user perception is also
to be incorporated.
n addition to strict time and cost constraints, manufacturers
are confronted with a high level of heterogeneity as they
apply a range of approaches to function development
and use various systems. This situation can be attributed
to the fact that function development is often assigned to
companies that focus on software and AI without systemic
understanding of the automotive sector.
– Improved Integration, Verification,

Integrating ADAS/AD functions in the vehicle is one of the
most pressing topics within the automotive industry.
