Supporting Vision Systems for Virtual Testing

Overview

Sealevel partners with a leading provider of embedded computing solutions for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The customer provides technology systems specifically for testing in virtual environments. Common feature testing includes automatic emergency braking, collision warnings, lane departure warnings, blind spot warning, and adaptive cruise control.

As the United States and European Union now require ADAS technology on all new cars, the customer’s product needs have increased dramatically.

Initially, the customer relied primarily on our SeaI/O 450U and 430U digital acquisition devices. However, as the number of peripherals integrated into the virtual test environment expanded, they required more – and faster – USB integration.

As the United States and European Union now require ADAS technology on all new cars, the customer’s product needs have increased dramatically.

The Solution

Sealevel’s team recommended the Embedded Rugged SuperSpeed 7-Port USB 3.1 Hub. After an initial evaluation, the customer standardized on the USB 3.1 Hub from Sealevel across their test platforms. This solution enables backward compatibility while allowing the customer to incorporate newer, faster technology simultaneously. Intentionally designed to meet the advanced requirements for connecting multiple USB peripherals at once while achieving SuperSpeed operation, the USB 3.1 Hub enables the customer to achieve multiple goals.
