2 ViCANdo is an easy to use ADAS systems test and simulation environment that includes Ethernet, FlexRay, CAN, LIN, MOST as communication busses, as well as Video and sound analysis built for daily use for the test engineers demanding environment. ViCANdo also easily integrates to measure other physical data as temperature, voltage, current and so forth. From the first day of development or Hardware, Software and Algorithms ViCANdo supports the various steps in the development process with appropriate and comprehensive coverage of the user scenarios. ViCANdo also allows connection of biosensors, such as pupil control, face and heart rate monitoring, to be able to follow the behavior and condition of the driver. As ViCANdo has an open SDK it allows the creation of custom interfaces and sources, but also enables the use of Algorithms under development as a high performance part of ViCANdo itself, executed with very high performance. Simulation By making a video recording of a tentative test run, the video recording can work as a reference while taking the first steps in developing the algorithms to detect other vehicles, pedestrians or lanes. The missing parts of the network can also be simulated by using ViCANdo s internal virtual Busses, minimizing the hardware hassle and investment in the early phases. Whilst the project becomes more mature, real hardware can be added as when judged appropriate. Either COTS hardware or your own project hardware as an added source to ViCANdo s out of the box COTS hardware libraries. Sensor signals are also easy to simulate on ViCANdo s built in virtual bus.

3 Tuning and verification When having the first prototype systems 100ds of parameters might influence the outcome. As ViCANdo has built in Algorithms for vehicle and lane detection, ViCANdo can compare the first outcomes by adding the output signals from a prototype ECU to an overlay in the Video window and compare the computed sensor data in real time, using an ordinary web cam. It is also possible to calibrate a camera for ViCANdo to be able to measure distances to objects down to centimeter precision. Fleet testing ViCANdo s extension ViCANdroid allows a multiplication of number of test points to i.e. fleets, to a reduced cost. ViCANdroid integrates with ViCANdo for triggers, scripts, events and log files, enabling a set up and debug of the project in a PC environment, later on empowering a Android unit to execute the measurement in the vehicle. ViCANdroid also has a server connection that enables immediate transmission of log files to server for analysis of the log files. Analysis ViCANdo is very intuitive and contains what you can expect from a professional analysis product. Various windows can be set up in an easy to overview the measurement set up. Each channel can be configured individually and assigned to an appropriate window or combined at will in one window only. Log files can be replayed and analyzed in vicando or other state of the art tools in off line or on line mode. Book marks, trigger and filters are easily added from the default libraries using databases to decode bus traffic when appropriate. As position and sound are recorded simultaneously it also enables features like voice logs and possibility to trace to certain positions in a measurement. ViCANdo has a very powerful built in post analysis engine searching even big log files (>10GB) in seconds. If that is not enough the built in scripting language enables to narrow the search criteria even further.

Synchronous vehicle data The capture and post analysis of synchronous vehicle test data exposes relational correlations that otherwise are not obvious.

Synchronous vehicle data provides details about the state of the vehicle (CAN, OBD, proprietary), multiple video sources both external and internal to the cab, custom measurement equipment, acoustics

5 Synchronous vehicle data The capture and post analysis of synchronous vehicle test data exposes relational correlations that otherwise are not obvious. Engineers analyze synchronous data to answer the questions of Who, What, Where, When and Why? Synchronous vehicle data provides details about the state of the vehicle (CAN, OBD, proprietary), multiple video sources both external and internal to the cab, custom measurement equipment, acoustics (braking and suspension engineers love this one), GPS, biosensors, etc. Many OEMs decide to record everything which produces Gigabytes of Big Data that is unstructured and not easily exported for post processing. ViCANdo processes the Big Data from a single large data set to answer the questions above. One interesting use case is how construction equipment manufacturers are making use of synchronous test data. Because there is a shortage of experienced operators, they capture CAN data from the construction equipment, GPS, external video and also multiple video feeds on the experienced operator s hands, feet and eyes. The data is analyzed and used to improve algorithms so less experienced operators behave like more experienced operators.
