Real-time SIL Emulation Architecture for Cooperative Automated Vehicles
share
The development of safety applications for Connected Automated Vehicles requires testing in many different scenarios. However, the recreation of test scenarios for evaluating safety applications is a very challenging task. This is mainly due to the randomness in communication, difficulty in recreating vehicle movements precisely, and safety concerns for certain scenarios. We propose to develop a standalone Remote Vehicle Emulator that can reproduce V2V messages of remote vehicles from simulations or previous tests. This is expected to accelerate the development cycle significantly. Remote Vehicle Emulator is a unique and easily configurable emulation cum simulation setup to allow Software in the Loop (SIL) testing of connected vehicle applications realistically and safely. It will help in tailoring numerous test scenarios, expediting algorithm development and validation, and increasing the probability of finding failure modes. This, in turn, will help improve the quality of safety applications while saving testing time and reducing cost.
