Automatic emergency braking


is another ADAS function that commonly relies on a front-mounted radar sensor. In CarMaker’s virtual environment, complex traff ic scenarios can be created with objects such as other cars, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians. These objects can then be represented through sensor models and transmitted over-the- air with a radar target simulator to make the test vehicle believe that it is running in a real traff ic scenario. Imagine a pedestrian in the virtual


environment suddenly stepping out into the road in front of the simulated test vehicle. The pedestrian will pass through the sensor model in IPG


❝ The benefi t of integrating this way is that the whole environment for the vehicle can be simulated


CarMaker and generate information (targets) that are sent to the radar target simulator. This then generates a radar signal that creates an image for the vehicle which then reacts to the pedestrian it perceives and activates its automatic emergency braking. The braking torque is


registered with the dynamometer system and fed back into the virtual environment which then simulates the vehicle stopping. ●
