Mahle and Rohde & Schwarz have jointly developed a platform that allows for the reliable testing of driver assistance system sensors following repairs. At the heart of this new development is Mahle’s TechPro Digital ADAS 2.0 Extra calibration system, which has been expanded to include the R&S RadEsT radar tester from Rohde & Schwarz.

Until now, there has been a lack of standardized measurement methods for testing ADAS sensors after accidents or repairs, particularly on body parts. Mahle and Rohde & Schwarz are addressing this need. The new development from the two companies is suitable for a wide range of users, including automotive workshops, repair shops, manufacturers, as well as insurance companies, government agencies, and testing organizations. It could potentially be used for future static testing of ADAS sensors as part of the annual vehicle inspection.

More Features

Mahle’s TechPro Digital ADAS 2.0 Extra calibration system uses integrated ultrasonic sensors to ensure precise vehicle positioning directly from the interior. Automatic vehicle detection, laser-based distance measurement, and motorized adjustment of the targeting systems ensure an efficient calibration process. An optimized display lifting system also guarantees precise alignment, even for particularly tall vehicles.

The R&S RadEsT radar tester from Rohde & Schwarz now offers additional features not found in standard calibration devices, such as frequency and polarization detection, power measurement, and target and angle simulation for radar sensors. This allows test engineers to check and verify the correct alignment and function of radar sensors in the diagnostic device following repairs or damage.

Reproducible Measurement data

This joint development covers several key areas of application. Following repairs, it provides workshops with standardized and documented confirmation that the driver assistance system continues to operate within specifications. In addition, it is suitable for quality and performance testing, as both correct and faulty conditions can be specifically simulated. Finally, the system generates reproducible and audit-proof measurement data that can serve as the basis for periodic technical inspection procedures, regulatory requirements, or insurance assessments in the future.
