SPIRENT SimAUTO In-VehIcle naVIgatIon SyStem (IVnS) SolutIon option for Spirent gnSS simulation systems SimAUTO is a powerful upgrade for Spirent’s multi-channel simulators to provide lab test support for today’s multi-sensor In-Vehicle Navigation Systems (IVNS). SimAUTO provides a turnkey solution to testing integrated Key Features navigation systems comprising GNSS and dead reckoning (DR) sensors. Coherent GNSS and DR sensor emulation facilitates rapid ¢ Simultaneous emulation of multiple DR sensors and comprehensive system testing, accelerating time to market co-ordinated with GPS satellite RF whilst improving demonstrated system resilience to real-life challenges such as multipath interference and signal obscuration. ¢ Heading and wheel count sensor outputs TM Fully integrated with Spirent’s SimGEN software suite, SimAUTO ¢ Single-axis rate table drive for stimulation of heading sensors allows parameters such as wheel track, wheel base, wheel diameter, odometer pulse rate & dead band to be set and saved to ¢ User-defined vehicle geometry a vehicle personality file for future use. ¢ Real-time scenario editing Emulated dead-reckoning sensor outputs are precisely co-ordinated with the RF GNSS signals to provide a complete test ¢ Remote operation driven from file (logged data) or vehicle environment for integrated navigation systems. Additionally, simulator single-axis turntable drive is provided to allow the direct stimulation of heading or heading rate sensors if this is ¢ Data streaming output allows modelled vehicle motion to be appropriate or preferred. shared with other applications The emulated sensor outputs and rate table drive are generated by ¢ CAN messages consistent with modelled sensors available as TM cards installed into the controller PC running SimGEN . Specify a an optional extra rackmount PC to ensure sufficient PCI slots. TM Vehicle trajectory can be generated using SimGEN , delivered from an external source or from a file using Spirent’s SimREMOTE mode of operation. A conversion utility allows NMEA data logged during field trials to be captured as a motion file. An identical journey can thus be reproduced as many times as required without leaving the lab.
