Abstract:
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have evolved into comprehensive hardware/software applications
with exploding complexity. Various simulation-driven techniques emerged to facilitate their development,
e.g., model-based design and driving simulators. However, these approaches are mostly restricted to
functional prototyping only. Virtual platform technology is a promising solution to overcome this limitation
by accurately simulating the entire ADAS hardware/software stack, including functional and non-functional
properties. However, all these tools and techniques are limited to their individual simulation environments.
To reap their combined benefits, this paper proposes a joined frameworking to facilitate ADAS prototyping
via full virtualization and whole-system simulation. For this purpose, an advanced automotive-flavor virtual
platform was also designed, ensuring detailed, near real-time simulation. The benefits of the approach and the
joined frameworks are shown b
y prototyping two ADAS applications in various system configurations.
