Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing for Autonomous Driving
The journey to full autonomy is a challenging one for autonomous vehicle developers. Restrictions on real-world location testing, the cost of drive testing, the pace of change and the critical nature of safety considerations can impair a product’s growth.
This webinar explores:
Hardware-in-the-loop testing using a driving simulator
Why multi-sensor systems are imperative for vehicle positioning
The need for and benefits of simulation when testing vehicle positioning, navigation & timing
Testing PNT performance in multipath and obscuration environments using simulation and modelling and record & playback systems

Simulation with Hardware in the Loop
Testing physical hardware in a simulated driving environment can quickly answer questions. In fact, it's the only viable way to understand the vehicle’s behavior in specific scenarios that may not present themselves often in the real world – or that are too risky to test in reality. What if the car comes to a pedestrian crossing in low light and a person is about to cross the road? Will the vehicle “see” the person and brake, or will it continue, potentially causing an accident?
The only way to test every conceivable scenario is to use simulation. And simulation also has other advantages: it’s faster and cheaper, and it allows developers to replay scenarios exactly – or to make controlled changes to them – to verify the impact of any changes made to the vehicle control system.
