Project Launch "Reference Sensor Technology for High-Precision Sensor Validation for Automated Driving" (RepliCar)

For automated driving, the secure perception of the environment is a crucial prerequisite. The sensors and processing chains employed must meet the highest standards of reliability, precision, and realism. Currently, there are no approaches for effective and efficient validation of sensors and processing chains. To create the missing data foundation for sensor validation for automated driving, a reference system consisting of radar, camera, lidar, GNSS, and inertial sensors is to be established and integrated into a test vehicle. This reference sensor system surpasses today's production sensor technology by several years and forms the basis for accurate sensor data acquisition.

 

The Institute for High-Frequency Technology and Electronics (IHE) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Hochschule Offenburg (HSO), and the Freudenberg FST GmbH are jointly developing a highly accurate radar system, which is a crucial component in the reference system for environmental perception and is periodically described by the Institute for Control and Systems Engineering (IRS) at KIT. The consortium leader, ANavS GmbH, enables the creation of an accurate representation of reality, a so-called "Ground Truth," for use in validation processes through the development of precise environmental perception and highly accurate sensor data fusion.

 

Within the project, the steps from simulated validation to the approval of sensors and functions will be defined and implemented by the consortium partners AKKA, FZI, IAVF, IPG, and GTÜ. The individual innovations in the validation and testing process for production sensor technology encompass AI methods for analyzing recorded scenarios, a "Sensor-in-the-Loop" test bench, integration into existing simulation tools, and a modular verification and validation process. The partners HQS and RAC are building a high-performance data platform for managing, processing, and providing reference data.

 

With the help of the mobile demonstrator from Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, initial data is recorded and utilized for the approval process of an exemplary perception system. The project has a duration from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026, with planned costs of approximately 10 million euros, and is supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) with approximately 5 million euros from the federal budget.

Willsch: 320.000€ federal funding for Idstein-based HighQSoft GmbH

The Idstein-based company HighQSoft GmbH is developing intelligent methods for processing and handling measurement data from different sources and in different formats for the automotive industry. The CDU Member of Parliament Klaus-Peter Willsch visited the company together with André Stolz, candidate for the state parliament and chairman of the district council, and Thomas Zarda, chairman of the city council. For its participation in the joint project RepliCar, HighQSoft receives federal funding of almost 320,000€.

 

"Recently we got to know HighQSoft GmbH as an innovative company with excellent expertise in cloud platform technologies and highly complex edge-to-cloud systems. It is precisely such companies, where the future is not only thought about, but above all made, that are a great inspiration for our society. The promotion of HighQSoft GmbH is an important building block in establishing our home country as an important player in innovation development," Willsch, Stolz and Zarda share.

 

HighQSoft GmbH is an internationally leading and independent company that has been developing measurement data management systems (MDM) for over 25 years. Its focus is on the automotive industry, for which customizable as well as scalable software infrastructures are provided for entire companies. These enable the global management and analysis of test and measurement data from a wide range of sources such as engine test beds, wind tunnels, battery testing, noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) and autonomous driving test vehicles (ADAS).

 

As a location advantage of Idstein, the managing directors emphasised the spatial location on the A3 motorway, but also criticized that the existing internet supply was insufficient for their industry. The local representatives of the various political levels assured that they would do their utmost to quickly remedy the already known problems. The problems described in questions of the law on foreigners and the right of residence in the recruitment of foreign skilled workers will also be investigated.
