A Faster and more Efficient Way to Parking Aids 
The development of a parking assistant is an extremely complex matter. The programming needs to be validated in practical tests, and numerous optimization loops need to be run before the desired quality level is achieved. In the end, the developer's budget frequently also plays a role in determining how accurately the solution works and how often the system fails to perform the assigned task. In addition, validation of the parking assistant can slow down the development of the complete vehicle if test scenarios have to be manually set up again and again and tests tend to drag on.
With its Automated Test Center for Parking Systems (ATPS), EDAG now offers vehicle manufacturers an alternative which will help them to take a leading position in terms of cost, quality and time to market. It enables both outdoor and indoor scenarios to be simulated, including parking at the side of the road, in the parking lot at the supermarket or in the driveway at home, and also in multi-level and underground garages or similar situations. Among the major advantages of this type of test center are automatic monitoring of the entire surroundings, automated scenario setup and the simple modification of several different factors to identify the limitations of the parking aid.
Details of the concept for the parking test center and the concrete benefits for the development of parking assistants can be found in our white paper "Automation Accelerates the Development of Parking Assistants". Download it here!
