Hyundai Mobis announced on the 17th that it has established an evaluation and validation system capable of repeatedly testing electronic control units (ECUs) for SDVs and autonomous driving by linking data obtained from actual road tests with data management solutions and simulators to replicate various driving scenarios. The new system collects real-world driving data and replicates various driving scenarios in the lab using simulators directly connected to ECUs. It performs large-scale validation more quickly and efficiently by automating data management and integrating it with simulators.
This system can drastically reduce evaluation and validation time through a platform that connects multiple simulators in parallel, reflecting various validation scenarios. Hyundai Mobis plans to expand this platform to connect up to 60 such simulators in the future. This will enable the company to perform 10,000 hours' worth of evaluation and validation in just one week.
In particular, the system is based on data collected under various conditions in real-world driving and parking environments via sensors mounted on test vehicles. A key advantage is its ability to replicate scenarios?such as nighttime driving, rainy conditions, and unexpected incidents?that are difficult to reproduce in reality, by integrating them with simulations in a virtual environment. By combining real-world and virtual data in an optimal ratio, the company expects to comprehensively evaluate the recognition performance and stability of autonomous driving and ADAS systems. Hyundai Mobis plans to actively utilize this system to comprehensively validate the performance and reliability of algorithms for autonomous driving sensors?such as radar, cameras, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensors?as well as various ECUs.
By proactively establishing this evaluation and validation system capable of managing large-scale sensor data in a one-stop manner, the company expects to strengthen its technological competitiveness for SDV advancement, thereby gaining further momentum for more aggressive global order acquisition activities. Hyundai Mobis plans to continuously enhance this evaluation and validation system through data integration and collaboration with major global research hubs.
