PreScan: ADAS development
With road vehicles becoming ‘smarter’, their sensors can ‘see’ danger before it happens. The design and testing of these intelligent vehicle systems can be dangerous, costly and time-consuming. PreScan is a dedicated sensor simulation tool for designing active safety systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It enables manufacturers to evaluate their intelligent safety system designs in a wide range of virtual traffic and road environments. With PreScan, advanced vehicle sensors, controls and warnings can be designed that go well beyond existing standards of safety.

What is PreScan?With the introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) or Intelligent Vehicle (IV) systems, cars are becoming increasingly smarter. Sensors enable them to ‘see’ danger before it happens, so that the appropriate action can be taken. But what should the sensors observe? How should algorithms translate the observations into actions? And what traffic scenarios should be used to evaluate your new intelligent vehicle system? PreScan is a software package that provides the answers. |

How does PreScan work?PreScan is a software tool that can be used for developing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that are based on sensor technologies such as radar, laser/lidar, camera and GPS. But PreScan can also be used for designing and evaluating vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication applications. Whatever system you are designing, working with PreScan takes only four simple steps: build a scenario, model sensors, add a control system and run your experiment. |

Why use PreScan?Active safety systems need to function properly for an enormous amount of different traffic scenarios that can occur on today’s roads, including effects of weather conditions, road conditions and traffic density. This makes the testing and verification of active safety devices a complicated and time-consuming activity. The dedicated Advanced Driver Assistance systems (ADAS) functionality of PreScan will contribute to tackle some of the development challenges faced by the industry. |

New in PreScanIn contrast to developing intelligent vehicle systems by means of real-world experiments, working with PreScan is quick, cost-effective and safe. Moreover, test conditions in PreScan can always be quantified and fully controlled. PreScan’s latest releases, PreScan V6.2, have many new features that streamline the ADAS development process even further. |

PreScan partners and interfacesThe development of intelligent vehicle systems requires the involvement of many different engineering disciplines including sensing, electronics, control, vehicle dynamics and safety. PreScan is able to interface with industry standards for algorithm design such as Matlab and Java, vehicle dynamic packages such as Tesis/veDYNA and MSC/CarSIM and HIL simulators such as dSPACE and OpalRT. |
