High-Bandwidth ADAS Data Logging Solution

Konrad Technologies cooperated with a leading global automotive and technology group known for advanced mobility solutions across passenger, commercial, and industrial sectors to customize a data logging system identical to the one deployed at the customer‘s site. This solution offers fast and easy-to-access remote troubleshooting to support various sensors, ensuring seamless customer support.

Challenges:

• There was no LVDS interface for data logging of camera data in the market when the first project initiated.
• High bandwidth for the data to log in total.
• Different types of ADAS sensors are involved.
• Need to adapt to different vehicle platforms to be tested.
• A robust system is needed for the environment of test drives.

Objectives:

• To design and deliver a hardware module to collect LVDS camera data.
• To create a flexible and modular data logging software.
• To ensure the logging of different sensors happen simultaneously with synchronized time stamp.
• To allow the user to monitor the status of the data logging.
• To provide features for tagging logged data, making subsequent testing and data analysis more efficient.

Konrad Technologies developed a data logging system, including data logging software and an LVDS PXI module:

• ‍KT ADE: A flexible and modular platform-style software, which loads and manages software modules written in LabVIEW for each type of data to log and which provides a GUI to monitor the status of the data logging.‍
• KT FAM: Konrad Technologies designed LVDS interface PXI module, which can work with NI PXIe FPGA board to collect LVDS camera data.‍
• High bandwidth data logging system: By integrating the hardware and the software made by Konrad Technologies with hardware from NI, Technica and others, the system provides a high bandwidth to collect data from different types of ADAS sensors.‍
• Konrad Prelabelling Tool: Konrad Technologies developed a software tool that enables engineers in the test vehicle to tag data in real-time based on what they observe during the test drive.

Support for different vehicle platforms:

• ‍Trustworthy System: Well tested and maintained software made by Konrad Technologies and hardware from Konrad Technologies and major measurement providers like NI and Technica ensure a robust system.‍
• Streamlined Coordination: Efficient project management and coordination among various stakeholders minimized delays and facilitated timely project completion.‍
• Global Support: Leveraged Konrad Technologies' international presence for planning, building, and supporting the system worldwide.

• ‍Expertise in System Construction: Advanced knowledge in designing and building custom testing systems.‍
• Strong Strenght and Willingness to provide RD service for New Demands: Konrad is able and willing to develop new hardware or software to fulfill some new demands from the customer.‍
• Single Point of Contact: Provided streamlined communication and project management to minimize costs and installation times.
• International Presence: Facilitated efficient planning, building, and support of systems globally.
