RTStand LV124: Validation for autonomous driving
Autonomous driving is getting one step closer to everyday reality. The US Department of Transportation has released a 15 point checklist to serve as guideline for self-driving car manufacturers. A couple of days ago, President Obama published an article explaining the US government support for autonomous driving, stating that "Safer, more accessible driving. Less congested, less polluted roads. That’s what harnessing technology for good can look like. But we have to get it right." This is a major breakthrough for car manufacturers, who now can count on federal laws to back their developments.
In addition to ethical and law issues, one of the 15 points reffers to one of the most critical aspects car manufacturers face: Validation. "Automakers need to develop testing and validation methods that account for the wide range of technologies used in driverless cars. Their tests should include simulation, test track and on-road testing."
The LV 124 is one of the most important norms car manufacturers have to fulfill in order to validate their products.
By acknowledging the manufacturers' needs and having a deep insight in the LV 124 norm, WKS Informatik developed a fully-automated test system for the electrical tests of the LV 124: RTStand LV124. Based on the technical innovation award-winning products RTStand - as the testing platform - and Tube Analyzer - as the measurement core -, RTStand LV124 drastically reduces testing times, by up to 70%, as well as analysis times, by up to 50%, using RTStand's powerful analysis tools.
This way, WKS Informatik stays true to making better products for automotive validation and contributes to innovation in autonomous driving.
