Enabling Automotive Innovation

As electronic systems take an increasingly central role in automotive technology, electromagnetic interference (EMI) becomes a critical issue. Increasing reliance on autonomous systems, from automated parking, lane drive assistance to fully autonomous vehicles makes EMI considerations safety-critical. Standards and legislation set limits on emissions and require immunity to interference so rigorous testing is needed to ensure compliance. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is now an essential part of automotive development.

Continuous evolution of electrical systems, requirements, and standards demands a more flexible approach to test capabilities. Whether it’s for Power Train, Radar, Infotainment, Automotive Ethernet, EMC or other testing needs, the latest instruments can be very expensive. During this session we’ll explore and evidence how deploying a flexible procurement strategy has allowed leading automotive organizations to get quick access to a wide range of high-end instruments, without making large investments, reducing risks and overall costs.

With autonomous vehicle systems relying on a variety of sensor technologies including radar and lidar, cameras and sonar an effective and robust program of testing is essential to ensure they operate together seamlessly. They must be rigorously assessed to ensure they are optimised for a wide variety of driving conditions. Cybersecurity is also an increasingly important test challenge. Learn more about our comprehensive range of test solutions we offer for autonomous vehicles advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to fully self-driving vehicles. 

Connectivity, both wired and wireless, is now an integral aspect of automotive development. Wireless systems, including eCall, 5G, Bluetooth and wifi are being integrated to allow seamless communications. For wired connectivity legacy bus systems are being replaced by new standards such as Automotive Ethernet which offers high bandwidth and low power consumption. Learn more about our test solutions for automotive connectivity and infotainment.

By 2040 over half of all vehicles sold are expected to be electric, driven by legislation to reduce carbon emissions. Developing new vehicles to meet this demand requires careful balancing and testing of batteries, drivetrains and charging systems. Rigorous testing of components and systems to ensure compliance with automotive and electrical standards is essential to ensure systems are compatible and power quality is maintained in charging networks. Learn more about our test solutions for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.
