To test the controllability of a vehicle for proving the functional safety aspects, according to ISO26262, different driving maneuvers with simulation of sensor malfunctions are performed. The new FuSi test system from Dewetron measures all vehicle data, exact positions and internal data of the ABS/VDC systems during the maneuvers. To measure the exact position and movement of the vehicle the ADMA (Automotive Dynamic Motion Analyzer) system from GeneSys Elektronik is used. ADMA combines GPS data with inertial sensors resulting in a precision in the range of a few centimeters. The basis for objective results are synchronized measurement of vastly different data like GPS, high performance INS/GPS system for motion analysis and precision position measurement, analog sensors (voltage, acceleration, strain, etc.), counter, CAN, FlexRay, ABS/VDC internal data via XCP or even video.
