PRODUCT
BRIEFS
SPOTLIGHT: PROPULSION
SYSTEM SIMULATION
EV Powertrain Simulation
NI (Austin, Texas) in partnership
with D&V
Electronics (Woodbridge,
Ontario) has developed
two new offerings to enhance
testing environments
for electric vehicle
traction-inverter validation.
NI has created a new
Inverter Test System (ITS),
while D&V has developed
the electronics for a power-level
inverter test. The
companies state that these
combined offerings should
accelerate testing for EV
propulsion systems by enabling
integrating testing
earlier in the product development
lifecycle. They also state that by simulating EV
powertrains to perform hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests of
traction inverter electronic control units (ECUs), the ITS allows
EV test engineers to create more life-like scenarios not
easily and accurately reproduced on the road.

Application Testing
Rohde & Schwarz
(Columbia, MD) has introduced
the R&S CMX500
one-box tester for highperformance
5G automotive
measurements. The
tester provides comprehensive
test coverage
including RF, protocol,
and application testing. It
can cover the entire development cycle from chipsets to TCUs
as well as complete vehicles. The R&S CMX500 also provides
extensive testing capability, supporting all 5G NR deployments
covering LTE, 5G NR FR1 and FR2 in non-standalone
(NSA) and standalone (SA) mode, for both FDD and TDD and
is capable of reading data rates of 10 Gbps and beyond.
Rohde & Schwarz will also exhibit a C-V2X test solution that
allows traffic scenarios involving multiple simulated vehicles
and the communications between them.

AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING
SPOTLIGHT: ANALYSIS TOOLS
Driving Simulator
Ansible Motion (Hethel, U.K.) has announced details of
its production Delta series S3 Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL)
simulator. The company states that this is their most sophisticated
dynamic driving simulator to date and features
the all-new AML SMS2 Stratiform Motion System.
The Delta S3's scalable architecture enables it be built
and delivered in multiple size options, making it suitable
for a broad range of automotive and motorsports product
development use cases such as expert driver assessments,
chassis dynamics, powertrain drivability, ADAS
and active safety function calibration, V2X studies and
HMI design evaluations.

ADAS Processing Chip
Renesas Electronics
Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) recently
announced the R-Car
V4H system on chip (SoC) for
central processing in advanced
driver-assistance (ADAS) and
automated driving (AD). The
R-Car V4H achieves learning
performance of up to 34 Tera
Operations Per Second (TOPS) which enables high-speed
image recognition and processing of surrounding objects by
automotive cameras, radar and lidar. With a high level of integration,
the R-Car V4H allows customers to develop singlechip
ADAS electric control units (ECUs). These control units
may support driving systems appropriate for SAE automated
driving Levels 2+ and Level 3, including full NCAP 2025 features.
The R-Car V4H also supports surround view and automatic
parking functions with 3D visualization effects such as
realistic rendering, the company said.
