Shrinking the gap: bringing more road testing into HIL

This paper will highlight the challenges of going from hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) to vehicle road testing as there are gaps today that can only be resolved through live road testing. By enabling the inclusion of actual sensor modules and wireless interfaces, Autonomous Drive Emulation (ADE) will be a way to compress the time and cost of vehicle road testing. As an example, this paper will discuss some of the details of how this can be accomplished from a cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) perspective.
