Spirent Autonomous Vehicle Testing

Automotive Navigation and Autonomy

GNSS Testing for Connected Autonomous Vehicles

The safety critical applications of GNSS in CAV mean that, more than ever, OEMs and suppliers need to verify every development at every stage. From full HiL integrations through to high resolution record and playback, Spirent’s lab test solutions are perfectly suited for evaluating the performance, quality and reliability of the latest technologies – giving our customers performance and peace of mind.

Simple integration with SimGEN®

Spirent’s SimGEN suite integrates with IPG CarMaker, Oktal SE-NAV, and Microsoft AirSim to make the ultimate CAV testing solution.

SimGEN is a software suite that can create a vast range of signals, effects, error models, trajectories and much more. It brings together 30 years of expertise in a tool which, when combined with a Spirent Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) RF simulator, forms a world-class test solution for all forms of GNSS technology R&D—from the development of a GNSS receiver or GNSS-enabled device, to the development of a GNSS itself.

Sensor Fusion Testing using HiL Simulation

Hybrid positioning and sensor fusion often require extensive testing to ensure the various data inputs are correlated accurately under real-world conditions. Increasingly, CAV developers are using HiL test setups to ensure systems interoperability. Spirent’s GSS7000 simulator, with industry leading positioning application software, is an ideal tool for supporting this. Find out more about Spirent’s GSS7000 simulator.

Realistic 3D Models

GNSS positioning and navigation can be degraded in urban environments by multipath, and the error can increase considerably if not properly compensated. The use of 3D models is becoming the preferred solution as it enables greater flexibility and accuracy in both antenna position and signal propagation.

Capturing the Real-World RF Environment

Because of the slow and expensive nature of field testing, there is a powerful argument for replacing a significant proportion of it with an RF Record & Playback solution. This can enable high-fidelity recording of real-world environments, bringing them into the lab for repeatable testing and allows you to:
  • Record GNSS signals, Celullar (LTE), and WiFi
  • Capture obscuration, multipath, diffraction, and interference – accurately
  • Record IMU and CANoe data
  • Replay in the the lab to assist ADAS development or IVS testing

GNSS Vulnerabilities Testing

Test, analyze and validate in-vehicle and V2X networks

The low power of GNSS signals on Earth and the widely disclosed GNSS signal format bring vulnerabilities of signal jamming, atmospherics (scintillation and space weather), and location or time spoofing.

Ensure compliance to latest standards

Spirent automotive test solutions help you optimize all aspects of in-vehicle and V2X connectivity to provide the experiences that modern drivers and passengers demand. Test your new automotive devices and networks to ensure they conform to industry standards, meet customer expectations, and deliver market-leading performance.
