AB Dynamics, based in the UK and established in 1982, are a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of advanced test and measurement systems to the global motor industry, for vehicle research and development and for production quality control. With specific expertise in vehicle dynamics and suspension established products include the SPMM 5000 Kinematics and Compliance test machine and a comprehensive range of driving robots and ADAS test systems.
This year AB Dynamics have entered the vehicle driving simulator market with the development of the Advanced Vehicle Dynamics Simulator, or aVDS. This is a compact simulator with class leading excursion, response and low latency.
The aVDS incorporates the Williams Advanced Engineering motion platform and delivers high definition content from rFpro via a high specification audio and vision system. By carefully synchronising the rFpro content with the high response motion platform, the aVDS provides the driver with very low latency vestibular, audio and visual motion cueing, which allows full immersion in the test environment and which provides a totally realistic driving experience.
ASAM e.V.
ASAM e.V. (Association for Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems) actively promotes standardization within the Automotive Industry. Together with its more than 360 member organizations worldwide, the association develops standards that define protocols, interfaces and data models for tools used for the development and testing of electronic control units (ECUs) and for the validation of the entire vehicle. ASAM standards are applied internationally with the purpose to enable easy integration of tools into existing value chains and to enable a seamless data exchange.
In 2018, the ASAM portfolio was extended by the standards ASAM OpenCRG®, ASAM OpenDRIVE® and ASAM OpenSCENARIO®, constituting the new standardization domain “Simulation”. These so-called “OpenX” standards describe static road networks and dynamic driving scenarios. They are used for driving and traffic simulation and serve to validate highly automated driving systems. Meanwhile, ASAM OSI®, a generic interface that enables simple linking of the many driving simulation frameworks, and ASAM OpenLABEL, the first standard for annotating multi-sensor data and scenarios, complement the Simulation portfolio. Further ideas like ASAM ODD and ASAM OpenXOntology are currently under consideration to be standardized within ASAM.
ASAM has established a very active membership in the area of highly automated driving: Technical experts from ASAM member companies worldwide are working together on the (further) development of the standards mentioned above. This collaboration enables the high quality level and industry-wide acceptance of ASAM standards. ASAM, on the other hand, ensures their independent, long-term development and maintenance in a professional setting.
