Current Vehicle Testing Process
Vehicle safety is paramount, and before any car is mass-produced, it must meet strict certification standards, pass extensive mileage tests, diverse road conditions, and seasonal verification to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers. However, this rigorous process can significantly extend the time to market, challenging the rapid innovation cycles needed by many fast-growing domestic electric vehicle brands. Shortening the testing process is a crucial advantage for manufacturers aiming for a competitive edge.
RoboTest Autonomous Vehicle Intelligent Testing Platform
In this context, a well-known joint venture in China has introduced the “RoboTest Autonomous Vehicle Intelligent Testing Platform,” a pioneering system that utilizes robotics in place of human drivers to perform vehicle tests and certifications. This transformative approach not only allows for more accurate data collection but also enables vehicles to tackle more extreme road conditions, improving the efficiency and smoothness of the entire testing process.
The RoboTest platform is supported by two main components: the vehicle-side system and the cloud-based system. The vehicle-side system integrates a driving robot, precise positioning sensors, and efficient control modules, enabling quick setup through modular assembly without altering the vehicle’s original structure. This design not only ensures test precision but also significantly reduces costs.
DAISCH’s GNSS INS combined systems IFS2100 & IFS3000
As a crucial component of RoboTest‘s positioning and perception module, DAISCH’s IFS2100/IFS3000 provides real-time, precise monitoring of motion attitude, enhancing testing efficiency and ensuring platform safety — a key capability of high-precision GNSS INS combined positioning and navigation systems.
The IFS2100 & IFS3000 solution offers two primary benefits.
- High-Precision Positioning Support
Using high-precision IMU as a baseline, integrated with GNSS and RTK technology, DAISCH’s proprietary data fusion algorithm enables the direct output of absolute position and attitude data with centimeter-level accuracy, supporting the accuracy and reliability of test data. - Enhanced Safety and DurabilityDesigned to withstand the harsh conditions of machine testing, the IFS2100/IFS3000 is highly durable, operating between -40℃ and 85℃ with IP67 certification for dust and water resistance, allowing it to perform in demanding environments.
Conclusion
AI technology is rapidly transforming automotive manufacturing and testing. Especially in vehicle testing and verification, many automotive manufacturers are adopting advanced AI techniques, including simulation testing, to drive industry innovation.
As vehicle testing moves toward an autonomous era, DAISCH is poised to collaborate with more companies in ushering in a new age of intelligent automotive manufacturing and testing, promising shorter development cycles and optimized costs.
