Motor-vehicle deaths in the United States have decreased greatly since the 1970s.
Enforcement of safety laws and advancements in safety technology in vehicles
are major drivers for these reductions.
Safe and smooth urban mobility is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century.
It can only be achieved thanks to intelligent transport systems.
Intelligent cars, city busses, trams, robot-taxis and even flying taxis are innovations
that will promote safe, fluid and seamless traffic.
How do future-ready companies design and develop these transports systems?
Data is at the heart of it.
Engineers need to translate the complex environment of urban traffic
into real-world, comprehensive, untampered data.
And feed this data into their smart vehicles
to validate driving automation algorithms,
and train the artificial intelligence’s neural networks.
But the amount of required data is massive.
Collecting information about myriads of expected and unexpected traffic situations,
possible events and hazards, is a daunting but crucial task.
Simcenter SCAPTOR is a complete, integrated solution for capturing raw ADAS
- advanced driver-assistance systems, sensor data.
… It is the gateway to a smart and efficient
ADAS testing workflow.
The process starts with the collection of real-world data.
The compact and robust system is designed to fit in any type of vehicle,
from the trunk of a private car, to the cabin of a tram, or a bus.
Its flexible design always adjusts to testing requirements,
in terms of data bandwidth, storage capacity needs or sensor type.
It allows for highly accurate data as timestamping occurs
as close as possible to the sensor’s location, avoiding delays.
It reliably collects terabytes of data from the vehicle sensors, recording urban traffic
situations and events for a full day of operation.
The Simcenter SCAPTOR integrates a copy station
which safely transfers the collected data.
From there, the data is ingested into a cloud or on-premise server.
In the next step, the solution helps engineers label, sort, and extract the most valuable information from the data.
It feeds hardware and software-in-the-loop testing systems
with time-synchronous replay of real-world raw data.
And helps develop and validate future-proof driver’s assistance systems
and advanced driving automation algorithms.
Smart data collection is a cornerstone of intelligent transport systems design and development.
It is a challenging task, yet a crucial element of the vehicle’s closed-loop development process.
Thanks to Simcenter SCAPTOR, you’re certain to obtain flawless data quality at all times.
The open and scalable solution is future-proof, and accommodates all current and future testing needs,
even connecting to novel types of sensors as these become available.
Develop smarter transport systems today and help shape the future of mobility.
