Autonomous Sensor Development
Simulation dramatically improves sensor capabilities, accelerates sensor-vehicle integration and enables rapid performance analysis across a wide range of operating conditions.
ANSYS APPLICATIONS
High-Performance Sensor Design for All Conditions
Sensors are critical components that provide the information autonomous vehicles need to make intelligent and safe decisions. They must reliably deliver high performance capabilities and function in a wide range of adverse operating conditions, including rain, ice and snow. Simulation is proven to enable engineers to improve sensor performance, determine optimal vehicle integration configurations and examine their behavior across a wide range of operational scenarios. With such safety-critical systems, the most accurate, physics-based simulation tools are required. Ansys provides a comprehensive autonomous vehicle sensor development capability that includes:

Sensor Design and Integration
Lidar
Ansys multiphysics solutions, including optomechanical, thermal interactions and an optical materials properties library, enable rapid emitter and receiver design and placement optimization.
Camera
Ansys multiphysics simulation solutions enable rapid camera design and placement studies using vision performance analysis and high-fidelity lens transfer functions for optomechanical optimization, placement and validation.
Radar
With Ansys' proven electromagnetic simulation capabilities, engineers can rapidly analyze radar system performance in complex, dynamic scenarios and improve the accuracy of their response to potential hazards.
Perception Software Testing
SCADE Vision automatically identifies potential vulnerabilities in AV perception systems. It helps you find and categorize edge cases where these systems might exhibit unsafe behavior.
"Radar systems play a central role in safety systems and must be tested with vehicle control systems and algorithms to validate safe operation."
Improving Data Builds a Better Autonomous System
The use of simulation through Ansys has allowed engineers access to better data, new tools and improved design, all before the physical prototype stage. With so many components of autonomous vehicles pulling in data via sensors to feed an algorithm, advance every step of the process by increasing the quality of the data and discovering solutions during simulation.
