UK simulation software specialist, rFpro, has been announced as a consortium partner in two government-funded projects aimed at strengthening the UK’s connected and automated mobility supply chain.

The motorsport, automotive, and defence engineering consultancy Pratt Miller has acquired AB Dynamics’ Advanced Vehicle Driving Simulator (aVDS). The class-leading Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) simulator will be installed in Q4 this year and be operational by January 2024.

Leading vehicle automation provider, ABD Solutions, has developed a new Mobile Supervisory System for its vehicle automation solution, Indigo Drive. It allows mining vehicles to be automated anywhere in the world without the need for existing infrastructure.

Testing services provider Dynamic Research, Inc. (DRI) can now conduct the full suite of IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) ADAS verification tests following the addition of two newly updated draft protocols that were published earlier this month.

rFpro has announced a collaboration with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (Sony) to develop high-fidelity sensor models integrated into rFpro software.

AB Dynamics, has developed a new, highly manoeuvrable ADAS target platform to more thoroughly test ADAS and AV technologies. Designed specifically to help replicate challenging urban test scenarios, the LaunchPad Spin™ simulates dynamic movements, can carry a variety of Vulnerable Road User (VRU) targets and has a top speed of 30km/h.

AB Dynamics has released a major update of its Robot Controller Software, RC 9.4, which is focussed on increasing the efficiency of ADAS testing. Combined with a comprehensive library of preconfigured test scenarios updated for 2023, it enables automated testing of every current Euro NCAP ADAS protocol requiring driving robots.

ABD Solutions has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jevons Robotics to integrate Indigo Drive; a full stack system of autonomy and communications with Jevons Robotics’ suite of automation-enabled industrial electric vehicles.

AB Dynamics, together with sister company Dynamic Research, Inc. (DRI), has launched a next-generation pedestrian ADAS target, the Soft Pedestrian 360™. It has been developed to support tests for improved sensor perception and categorisation as well as significantly decrease the time and cost of testing through improved robustness.

rFpro has developed a new simulation technology that significantly reduces the industry’s dependence on real-world testing for the development of autonomous vehicles (AV) and ADAS. Its new ray tracing rendering technology is the first to accurately simulate how a vehicle’s sensor system perceives the world.

AB Dynamics has worked with Euro NCAP test labs and leading vehicle manufacturers to develop a method for testing Emergency Steering Support (ESS) systems to accompany the new Euro NCAP test protocol due to take effect in January 2023.

Leading automotive test solution supplier AB Dynamics has launched its next-generation vehicle Kinematics and Compliance (K&C) test machine, the SPMM Plus (Suspension Parameter Measurement Machine).
