Use of CarMaker in our Automated Driving Development Tool Chain Thomas Classen | Robert Bosch GmbH
Robert Bosch GmbH is the world's largest automotive supplier and uses CarMaker from IPG Automotive for various applications in the development of safety-critical systems. Thomas Classen presents use cases from different fields using a variety of examples. Specifically, in the ADAS (automated driving and advanced driver assistance systems) domain, the simulation capabilities of CarMaker provide a good base for simulation activities at Robert Bosch GmbH. The keynote provides an overview of what simulation can achieve in ADAS and which elements are necessary to leverage this potential. In January 2023, a cooperation between Robert Bosch GmbH and CARIAD has been established for new ADAS driving functionalities in the SAE L2 and L3 levels in vehicles of the Volkswagen Group. Thomas Classen gives a brief introduction to this cooperation as a further outlook on how development in the ADAS field is progressing. |

Automatum Data GmbH is an innovative company that has developed an automation solution for generating large amounts of data for vehicle developers, scenario-based function development projects, and AI applications. Our solution is based on automated data acquisition from traffic observation, which enables an almost unlimited amount of data.
Our goal is to provide vehicle developers, scenario-based function development projects, and AI applications with data that matches their specific working context. Our automated data pipeline extracts object trajectories with high accuracy from reference drone videos captured from heights of up to 600 meters. Whether it's entry or exit ramps on highways, bottlenecks, heavy traffic, free-flowing traffic, intersections with or without traffic lights, or roundabouts of various complexity and size, we capture the data that vehicle developers, scenario-based function development projects, and AI applications require.
With our automation solution, data can be quickly and efficiently collected that matches the specific working context. If an unusual road configuration is missing, Automatum Data collaborates with the project team to fill in this observation or data gap. The automated data acquisition of Automatum Data thus offers a reliable, efficient, and scalable solution for reference data acquisition, the ground truth of traffic movement, for automated driving.
