Evaluation of driver assistance systems with a car simulator using a virtual and a real FPGA platform
Philipp Wehner, Diana Göhringer · Conference on Design and Architectures for Signal and Image Processing · 2013
This paper presents a simulation environment for driver assistant Systems-on-Chip (SoC). We implemented a cruise control and an adaptive cruise control using SystemC. The correct functionality of these driver assistant SoCs are evaluated using a Cadence virtual platform connected to a car simulator. Additionally, we show how easily the developed driver assistant systems can be transferred from the virtual to the real FPGA platform. We demonstrate the correct functionality by connecting the real FPGA platform to the car simulator. Performance results for both approaches are presented.
