Session One | Ensuring trust and reliability for the end users, the future role of testing and simulation for connected cars

This presentation will look at the technical evolution of connected cars in terms of services, platform architectures, and then the related testing methodologies for the connectivity. The role of autonomous driving, enhanced safety features, and advanced driver comfort will all be considered, and the vision for providing a testing environment to deliver trust and reliability of these services will be explained. 

Telematic Control Unit in a car is an intrinsic component to ensure critical and non-critical communication links. Telecommunication technologies and standards evolves and so evolves also TCU and its capabilities and functionalities. This session will share an overview of the 5G TCU, the challenges posed for its adoption and how Anritsu offers a test platforms capable of multi-layer and Autonomous driving functional 5G TCU test.

With C-V2X based on LTE R14 already gaining traction, this section will share updates on the future 5G NR based C-V2X evolution, defined in R16 and R17. The relevant test challenges and available solutions will be presented.

This presentation is focused on details of eCall system, its history, implementation, legislation and ways of testing to make sure eCall system does not fail when it is needed the most.

This lecture focuses on the various possible applications of VNAs in the automotive environment. First, the ADAS market, its current and future developments as well as the associated measurement requirements are presented. Subsequently, various possibilities for the measurement use of VNAs in the characterization of automotive radar applications, in particular radome and emblem measurements, are explained and possibilities for car chassis radar integration tests are discussed. In addition, testing the resistance of electronic assemblies is briefly presented. The lecture ends with a brief summary of measurement options in the field of radar target simulation and LiDar.

MVG will present its measurement systems dedicated to inter-vehicle communications and the virtual techniques allowing to evaluate from these measurements the V2X communications.

A new specification for Remote SIM Provisioning is emerging that comes not just with significant technical benefits, but also facilitating vendors of connected devices for better commercial architectures and supply chains. We’ll outline the most important aspects of this new technology and the benefits. As we recognize significant interest to evolve towards this new specification, we’ll explain how a proof-of-concept and development environments can be set-up already in very early phases of the technology where robust products for all the building blocks are not yet available. This allows to gain experience in an end-to-end environment and to integrate and test individual components as they become available.
