Test person study on fully automated parking assistants at IFM successfully completed

Autor: | Released: 31. May 2022

In March 2022, numerous test persons had the chance to participate in a test person study on the topic of “Comparison and evaluation of fully automated parking assistants of different car manufacturers” at the IFM (Institute for Driver Assistance and Connected Mobility) in Benningen. For the study, the participants represent normal customers who would also resort to using the parking assistant in everyday life. The participants were provided with four different mid-range and luxury class vehicles with which they were to perform six different parking maneuvers. These maneuvers represented everyday parking situations as far as possible and had to be…

5 reasons why you need the MXsteerHiL for your steering development

Autor: | Released: 4. April 2022

For vehicle engineers, experiencing steering feel is essential for evaluation. Imagine being able to experience, evaluate and apply this steering feel much earlier in the development phase and without a vehicle. With the MXsteerHiL you experience the real steering feel at an early stage at your desk or in the lab and not – as usual – only in the prototype vehicle. The differences in steering feel can be measured and calibrated with the MXsteerHiL. Especially in automated driving, the MXsteerHiL allows you to enter development with a high degree of maturity. Sounds unimaginable? It isn’t. Because that is our…

Theory and practice combined: The chassis.Xperience

Benningen/Munich: After a break of two long years due to the pandemic, the time has finally come: This year, the “chassis.tech plus” is firmly back on the event calendar and so is the accompanying “chassis.Xperience”. The free driving event is organised by MdynamiX together with the universities of Munich and Kempten and takes place at the Institute for Driver Assistance and Connected Mobility (IFM) of the Kempten University of Applied Sciences in Benningen (near Allgäu Airport Memmingen). Special focus is placed on experiencing the latest chassis and ADAS/AD systems and it is the perfect practical complement to the Munich Chassis…

Practical seminars STEER & FEEL and DRIVE & FEEL …. After a long break we start again

Autor: | Released: 24. March 2022

Driving, experiencing, discussing and interacting is the key to effective teaching of further education in vehicle technology. With this in mind, we are very pleased to be able to launch two practical seminars again in the period June 20 – 24, 2022. Specialists and managers will then again have the opportunity to bring themselves up to date with the latest technical developments in the areas of vehicle dynamics and driving comfort and to test many vehicles in practice. DRIVE & FEEL The seminar illustrates the interrelationships of human perception, reaction and control systems by means of theoretical considerations and…

How to scale ADAS testing with objective KPIs

Panel discussion with MdynamiX, GeneSys, atlatec and the Kempten University of Applied Sciences Tuesday, June 8th, 2021 – 10 am CEST (German) Thursday June 10th, 2021 – 18 pm CEST (English) Modern-day ADAS features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Keep Assist/LKAS and others are a highly innovative domain. Some developments are driven by regulatory requirements (NCAP etc.), others aim to give car makers an edge over their competition, in terms of comfort and driving pleasure. Especially for the latter, however, regulatory requirements are insufficient KPIs for designing and testing ADAS features: One of the main challenges is how to define…
