The first speakers have been announced for the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo conference in Stuttgart, Germany, June 4, 5 and 6, 2024. The conference will feature over 70 expert presenters, covering a broad spectrum of critical ADAS, safety and autonomous driving topics, including AI and deep learning, sensor fusion, virtual environments, safety verification and validation, new testing and development tools and technologies, real-world test and deployment case studies, and the latest standards and regulations.
First speakers include Benjamin Engel, chief technology officer, ASAM eV; Dalia Broggi, project manager for vehicle safety at the European Commission; and Florin Grec, LEO-PNT mission and experimentation engineer in the Directorate of Navigation at the European Space Agency (ESA), who will explore the ESA’s innovative Low-Earth Orbit PNT initiative, a project poised to significantly enhance GNSS systems.
Meanwhile, Carlo van Driesten, systems architect for virtual test and validation, BMW Group, will present ‘Enabling virtual test and validation – self-sovereign identity via OIDC to enable decentralized open data markets‘. During his presentation, van Driesten will explore how to create an open and decentralized data ecosystem (ODDE) to increase the availability of standardized simulation data, while sharing the current state of the ODDE in the ENVITED (ENvironment for VIrtual TEst Drive) research cluster at the Automotive Solution Center for Simulation eV.
Nils Katzorke, project coordinator, Mercedes-Benz AG, will present, ‘Agile scenario alteration: a framework to accelerate automated vehicle testing’. Having joined Mercedes-Benz in 2016 as a project coordinator for the construction and ramp-up of the new proving ground in Immendingen, Germany, Nils specializes in leading research projects on test infrastructure design for autonomous systems. An experienced presenter, he first spoke at the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo conference in California in 2022, where he revealed the company’s approach to proving ground testing in the context of automated vehicles.
Dr Clara Marina Martinez, engineer, ADAS virtual development, Porsche Engineering Services, will present ‘Rapid SW and HW prototyping for automated driving: sensor and function benchmarking using the JUPITER platform‘. She will explain how Porsche Engineering has accelerated the vehicle testing of its ADAS algorithms by means of its JUPITER vehicles, which provide a fully scalable rapid prototyping platform for ADAS for early close-to-series testing. It integrates state-of-the-art ADAS algorithms, is equipped with high-performance ASIL-D middleware and scalable data exchange, and is interoperable and real-time capable, according to Martinez, who is set to share a sensor benchmark use case as a teaser of the plethora of possibilities that the platform offers.
Plato Pathrose, CTO and technical director ADAS and automated driving, Vinfast Germany, will present ‘Journey toward software-defined connected and autonomous vehicles (SDCAV)‘. During his presentation, Pathrose will discuss the roadmap toward software-defined vehicles. He will also cover the requirements and design considerations that are taken into account for vehicle architecture and various vehicle components, while highlighting necessary changes in approach. He will also emphasise the drastic migration toward utilizing new technologies required for the service and maintenance phase for SDCAVs.
The conference (rates apply) takes place June 4-6, alongside the free-to-attend ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo, in Stuttgart, Germany – the leading exhibition in Europe for advanced technologies for autonomous driving development.
