How We Optimize Driver Assistance Systems – with MXeval

Subjective Evaluation and Objectification with MXeval

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are revolutionizing the automotive industry and play a crucial role in driving safety. However, to ensure that these systems are not only objectively effective but also comfortable and intuitive from a driver’s perspective, comprehensive evaluation is necessary. This is where MXeval from MdynamiX comes into play: a comprehensive software that combines subjective driver assessments with objective measurement data – directly in the test vehicle.

Why Are Subjective Evaluations Crucial?

In addition to objective measurements, subjective assessments from engineers, experts, and test drivers are essential to understanding the actual user experience. Subject studies provide valuable insights into the perception and acceptance of assistance systems. How intuitively does the lane-keeping assistant intervene? Does the system feel natural? These questions cannot be answered solely by sensor and telemetry data. In the end, the most important sensor is the human.

The MXevalApp – Efficient Data Collection in Real-Time

With the MXevalApp, we take subjective evaluation to the next level. The app allows for structured and standardized collection of driving impressions – directly from the vehicle, without the need for an additional interviewer. Thanks to the integrated copilot mode, relevant questions are automatically asked and documented at the right time. This allows the test person to focus entirely on the driving experience.

MXevalApp live in the test vehicle:

✔️ Customizable Questionnaires: MXevalApp Manager allows free configuration of criteria, scales, and color options.

✔️ GPS-based Evaluation: Questions appear automatically at predefined route points.

✔️ Example – Lane Keeping Assist: Evaluation of lane guidance quality, steering, and intervention strength.

Auto Motor und Sport is Convinced: This Method Works Across the Board!

Even the team at auto motor und sport is convinced. Since the beginning of the year, their reports have not only focused on the presence of assistance systems – they also incorporate personal impressions from test drives with current vehicle models. After all, what are the reactions of the assistance systems ultimately compared to? Exactly, to the natural and usual human response. In addition, the test subjects are assessed for practical usability – that is, for the human user. This is clear proof that a holistic evaluation of driver assistance systems is becoming increasingly important!

The Relevance of Driver Assistance Systems is Growing – and So is the Need for Optimization

The market for driver assistance systems is booming – and for good reason, according to consulting firm McKinsey. Their analysis predicts that the sector for driver assistance and autonomous driving in private vehicles will grow by 15 to 20 percent annually through 2035. The driving forces behind this trend? Increased safety awareness and the growing demand for premium vehicles. More and more consumers are willing to pay more for modern safety technologies – and this is also increasing their acceptance.

The EU decision (EU Regulation 2019/2144) to make certain ADAS mandatory is a game-changer for the entire industry. While competitors rely on traditional acceptance studies, MXeval goes a step further: By intelligently combining subjective and objective data, the software provides deeper insights and a solid decision-making basis for engineers and developers.

In addition to UNECE and ISO standards, the requirements of the EURO NCAP are becoming increasingly important. In particular, the EURO NCAP protocols’ requirements for 2026 are continuously increasing. With MXeval, engineers’ lives are made significantly easier during testing. It’s not just about functionality; it’s also about the user experience that excites end customers.

Conclusion: Boosting Efficiency with MXeval

With MXeval, MdynamiX offers an innovative solution for evaluating and optimizing driver assistance systems. The combination of real-time feedback and objective measurements enables informed development that takes both safety standards and driver comfort into account.
