Combining these two solutions provided a comprehensive answer to complex toolchain issues. Their team was already familiar with Adams for performing their vehicle dynamics tasks, and VTD was being used by other divisions. KATECH used Adams Real Time in combination with VTD and 3D mapping data from HexagonвЂ™s Leica Geosystems business to build this virtual environment. Seong-Jin Kwon says that as well as building precise maps for autonomous driving, there is also a real-time monitoring system for vehicles and their surrounding conditions, along with a data collection, storage and analysis system, making Daegu Technopolis and Daegu National Industrial Complex an optimised city for research on autonomous driving.

The cityвЂ™s infrastructure makes it ideal for testing self-driving cars, and aims to establish itself as a global hub for conducting those tests. One of those aspects was to model the entire South Korean city of Daegu Technopolis and Daegu National Industrial Complex and transfer it into a simulation environment.

There have been many attempts to link everything, but it was harder than expected, so we had to proceed with the simulation and simulator parts that were realistically possible.вЂќ

The industry faces a constant demand to link various solutions, and Seong-Jin Kwon, KATECHвЂ™s director of Vehicle Safety Research Center, says: вЂњIn order to study autonomous vehicles, all platforms, such as simulations and real vehicle tests, had to be built, including building an autonomous vehicle simulation environment, and using it to create conditions in which the driver either has to intervene, or not intervene, in real time. By combining these industry-leading simulation solutions from Hexagon, it is now able to perform highly realistic simulations to understand how a specific vehicle with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) or autonomous capabilities will perform in real road conditions.

KATECH invested in MSC SoftwareвЂ™s Adams software to simulate vehicle dynamics in 2019, subsequently implementing its VIRES Virtual Test Drive (VTD) software for creating virtual road environments. Through such research and development, it intends to build basic environment data and data to support certifications and laws related to autonomous driving in Korea. The Institute is involved in the physical testing of self-driving vehicles and it wanted to implement them in a virtual environment to verify that safety-critical ADAS and autonomous systems will perform as intended in a realisitic urban environment.

South Korean research institution, KATECH, is helping automotive manufacturers and their suppliers develop the necessary the technologies and tests. Vehicles are guided by sensors that ensure they are вЂњsituationally aware,вЂќ of their position and of any physical hazards, but this process becomes increasingly more complex in a city environment with unexpected hazards. Global authorities are developing methods to support the certification of vehicles and accompanying policy development so that next-generation vehicles can be safely and efficiently introduced to urban environments. Passenger vehicles can already read traffic signs or detect passing traffic, but the latest ADAS systems and autonomous vehicles are complex and, despite significant effort of manufacturers to ensure they respond to every event safely, governments require verification. By scanning cities and simulating how vehicles behave вЂ“ from how LiDAR sensors perceive objects to how their handling could impair evasive manoeuvres вЂ“ the Korean research institute is enabling the automotive industry to safely introduce future vehicles. MSC Software Corporation (MSC), part of HexagonвЂ™s Manufacturing Intelligence division, has helped KATECH create a high-fidelity virtual test platform to verify that safety-critical Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous systems will perform as intended in a real urban environment.
