New hardware-in-the-loop API for GNSS
simulators enables greater accuracy, integrity and control for
growing sensor fusion testing needs
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), the world leader in global
navigation satellite systems (GNSS) testing solutions, has today
announced the release of SimHIL, an integrated hardware-in-the-loop
(HIL) testing software API for Spirent GNSS simulators. SimHIL
brings high fidelity GNSS signal simulation with low latency to
automotive industry HIL testbeds.
Spirent’s SimHIL software has been developed to meet the
automotive industry’s growing need for realistic positioning,
navigation and timing testing for sensor fusion. As customers apply
increasing pressure on car manufacturers for more advanced
driver-assistance system (ADAS) features and advanced infotainment
systems, test labs need to be able to combine Wi-Fi, camera, lidar,
radar, inertial and GNSS data that power these advanced automotive
systems.
SimHIL helps test engineers bring accurate, controlled and
coherent data from GNSS and inertial sensors to their sensor fusion
algorithms within HIL test environments. Facilitating the ultra-low
latency, complete control, enhanced realism, and ease of use and
setup of Spirent GSS7000 and GSS9000 GNSS simulators, SimHIL is an
ideal solution for OEMs and tier-one suppliers developing ADAS, V2X
and sensor fusion engines.
The new SimHIL API enables:
- External motion input –real-time direct motion and
trajectory data input from simulators.
- Sensor fusion – introducing GNSS signals into sensor
fusion engines.
- V2X testing – validation and performance benchmarking of
V2X applications.
- Infotainment system testing – real-time scenario
feedback to system and driver responses.
- Vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) – final production form
product testing.
- Accurate testing – reliable results supported by
ultra-low latency simulation. Criticality of ADAS features, such as
lane assist and automatic braking, mean that 3+ metres of
uncertainty introduced by higher latency systems is not
sufficient.
Martin Foulger, General Manager of Spirent’s Positioning,
Navigation and Timing Business said: “With our SimHIL software and
GNSS simulators, test engineers can bring realistic, controlled
GNSS simulation to their HIL testing environments – a vital
requirement in a world where ADAS features are relying more heavily
and critically on accurate positioning.”
Spirent has worked with leading suppliers to ensure SimHIL is
compatible with their HIL platforms and because of its open API,
there’s broad scope for additional custom third-party
integrations.
“When used with our GSS7000, SimHIL latency is less than 40ms
from motion command to RF output and supports all GNSS and SBAS
signals,” said Ricardo Verdeguer Moreno, Product Manager for
Connected and Autonomous Vehicles at Spirent. “SimHIL is also
compatible with all the options and features available in Spirent’s
GNSS simulators, including ionospheric and tropospheric modelling,
antenna patterns, date and time settings, and obscuration and
multipath effects via Sim3D.”
Users can easily configure and control both the GNSS scenarios,
and signal generation and vehicle motion from within the HIL
simulator GUI – saving time and the possibility of error.
Spirent is also offering three service packages alongside SimHIL
to help customers mitigate project risk and reduce the time from
delivery to useful deployment.
