What is Down the Road for GCAPS?

A major problem in the field of automated driving systems (ADS) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is the lack of unique test cases for simulated testing based on real-world scenarios. GCAPS aims to alleviate this issue by creating digital twins of real-world test cases captured through a multitude of databases, including the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute’s naturalistic driving database. We have developed a process to digitize a concrete scenario and create meaningful variations to expand the number of test cases. By partnering with companies who manufacture hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) equipment, GCAPS can provide a full solution for ADS and ADAS HiL testing using scenarios and test cases based on real-world data instead of synthetic data.

We will be presenting this workflow and showcasing a demonstration of our solution at the Automotive Testing Expo in Novi, Michigan, October 22-24, 2024. Matthew van Gennip, a GCAPS research engineer, will be presenting this work at the Innovation Showcase at 10:00 a.m. on October 22, 2024. We will be sharing booth 3045 with A&D Technology, a research partner specializing in HiL equipment.
