Car manufacturers rely on advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) functions in their vehicles. To ensure that such systems function over their entire service life, ADAS and AD tests should also be possible in workshops.

Reliable operation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) functions is important for the long-term safety and performance of modern vehicles. In order to obtain an operating license for autonomous driving, manufacturers must obtain appropriate approvals from the traffic authorities. In addition, special precautions are necessary to operate ADAS and AD functions safely and stably over long periods of time.

A key aspect in the development and production phase of radar sensors is the use of radar target simulators. These systems are usually used under controlled laboratory conditions, are cost-intensive and optimized for frequency-controlled environments. Developers at Rohde & Schwarz have presented a new approach. This makes it possible to test radar sensors cost-effectively and with high quality in the workshop. This is a major step forward, as it significantly reduces the effort and costs of conventional tests.

Radar target simulator and headlight tester

The integration of the R&S RadEsT radar target simulator from Rohde & Schwarz with the R-HLT20 and R-HLT30 headlight testers from Ryme Worldwide is particularly relevant for the main inspection (HU). These systems can be mounted on a common carrier column to save space, making them mobile and flexible in use. The testers are available in both analog and digital versions and offer comprehensive support for various headlamp systems such as H7, Xenon, LED and Matrix. In addition, the digital headlight testers offer clear user guidance and save the test results, which can be transmitted via an integrated ASA interface.

The combination of Rohde & Schwarz and Ryme Worldwide systems therefore not only offers precise test results, but also efficient use of the available space in the workshop. This greatly simplifies testing procedures and ensures that ADAS and AD technologies function reliably throughout the entire vehicle life cycle. (heh)
