Portalix and Viomatics, the largest safety testing equipment companies in the world, held a demonstration that showcases Portalix's ability to combine and manage a physical safety test with vehicles in real road conditions alongside tests in a computer simulation
Humanetics, one of the world's largest suppliers of active safety testing equipment and solutions, and the Israeli Foretellix, a provider of verification solutions for automated driving systems, demonstrated a joint solution that bridges the gap between virtual testing and physical testing in automated driving systems. The companies released a videotaped demonstration today, and will hold a live demonstration in May at a special event to be held in California at AAA's test track for automated driving systems in Northern California.
The companies' joint solution combines virtual tests and physical tests of driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving systems (ADS), and will help car manufacturers and Tier1 suppliers reduce development and verification expenses, and ensure the safety and integrity of these systems.
In the video demonstration, the companies demonstrated an end-to-end verification solution, using M-SDL, the unique language they developed at Portlix to describe scenarios for automated driving systems. The scenarios in M-SDL created by the Foretefiy system, Portalix's verification platform, were sent to Yumentix's driving robots, which executed the scenarios in real road conditions. The information collected from the tests is sent back to the Foretefiy system, which joins the information collected from the virtual tests (computer simulation) and is analyzed to create a quantitative index that provides an accurate status of the tests' progress.
"Working with Yumantix will allow us to show how the gap between physical and virtual tests can be bridged, while using the common solution that produces and performs tests on different platforms - both virtual and physical - and analyze all the information in one place," said Ziv Binyamini, CEO and co-founder of Portlix . "We believe that a unified verification solution, which streams information from virtual and physical verification tests, is the way for the automotive industry to step forward in the journey towards the goal of improving safety and faster implementation of automated driving systems."
