PARKING, FROM REQUIREMENT TO FUNCTION

The
Challenge

Modern parking systems are evolving rapidly, from simple ultrasonic parking aids to fully automated and partially remote-capable parking functions. In this highly complex environment, a multitude of specialized suppliers develop hardware and software components for sensors, control units, and HMI interfaces.

With the evolution of car functions, the systems is getting more complex. Therefore developing, integrating and managing the various Modules throughout the lifecycle needs to be ensured by a structured systemetic approach.

The
Solution

Emposomeets this complexity with a holistic approach. Starting with system & requirements engineering, it continues through to the validation of parking functions across the entire functional chain, as well as virtual validation through hardware-in-the-loop tests with a focus on individual control units and the operating and display concept. As a specialized team of experts, we form the interface between the customer’s functional managers and the suppliers’ international development teams. Our part is to manage the entire development process along the V-model –from the creation of functional technical requirements to final acceptance.

To maximize efficiency, we rely on test automation combined with environmental simulations. With the help of artificial intelligence, the derive test specifications are transferred directly from the requirements seamlessly into the test automation. For us, this high degree of automationis also the key to fulfilling strict ASPICE standards as well as safety-critical requirements in a process-compliant manner, even with short development cycles. This guarantees that state-of-the-art parking functions are developed to be not only convenient for the end customer but also robust and certifiable.

The Benefit
Delivered

Through our holistic solution and our team of experts, we facilitate development and the management of complex projects in the area of parking.While all progress remains transparent through detailed real-time reporting, milestones are achieved independently and coordination efforts of our customers are minimized.

Thanks to our in-depth error analysis at the signal level and AI-based test sequences, the feedback loops between development and validation are a key point of process optimization. The result is a significant reduction in development costs, while simultaneously ensuring the highest product quality and maturity of the parking functions for series production release.
