7th Symposium Driving Simulation

12 May 2021 | Virtual Live Event

cooperative event of Automotive Solution Center for Simulation e.V., OWL ViProSim e.V. and VDC Fellbach w.V.

OBJECTIVE

The Symposium Driving Simulation - SDS brings together industrial and academic experts from the fields of virtual driving simulation, ADAS sensor technology and autonomous driving. Our format offers a familiar environment for networking and the presentation of scientific approaches, application-oriented results and state-of the art technologies. The 7th edition SDS is planned as virtual live event: participants can join the conference and exhibition online. The focus of the event is on technical challenges, latest research approaches and state of the art simulation processes. The organizers want to offer the idustrial and academic community a better technological access and possibilities for deeper exchange and future collaborations. We offer start-ups and public funded projects a platform for professional exchange, dissemination and the development of their business relationships. 

Focus Topics:


  • Virtual Design, Validation and Certification of Highly Automated Driving Functions

  • Scenario generation for AD
  • ADAS Sensor Modelling and Sensor Fusion
  • Perception and Human Factors in Vehicle Driving Simulation
  • Driving Simulator Technologies for ADAS Development

BACKGROUND

On the way to autonomous driving, virtual development methods are becoming increasingly important. The rapidly increasing product complexity and the interaction of the vehicle with a connected environment lead to a multidimensional test matrix of hitherto unknown dimensions. It is obvious that in order to cope with these demanding tasks, a partial shift from real testing to the hybrid / virtual world is necessary in order to develop safely, reproducibly and efficiently. Simulation methods in combination with driving simulators are a key technology in this respect. Here, too, continuous research and further development of virtual test methods is necessary to provide engineers with reliable and credible simulation processes.
