The millimeter wave radar test standard is a
first in China and is expected to help improve test consistency and
vehicle safety while pushing autonomous mobility.
NI (NASDAQ: NATI) This August, the China Association for
Automobile Manufacturers published T/CAAMTB 15-2020, a new standard
test method for vehicle millimeter wave (mmWave) automotive radar.
This standard establishes unified requirements for testing mmWave
radars for Chinese radar manufacturers, with a goal of improving
the safety of ADAS features that rely on this sensor, such as
autonomous emergency braking.
The Tsinghua University Suzhou Automobile Research Institute
formed a multidisciplinary team that included Radsys, an NI
Partner, to create the standard. Radsys led the effort to manage
the team, write the standard and get it thoroughly reviewed by the
team members before its release to the Chinese automotive industry.
The standard sets out the expectations of what to test, how and
what results are to be expected to safely release a radar module to
the Chinese automotive market.
“Before the standard was established, the test was ‘designed’ by
collecting requirements from OEMs, R&D teams, component
manufacturers, module design teams and so forth to then create
effective and repeatable test methods,” said Qianhui Yang, a radar
test technical expert at Radsys. “The process was lengthy,
cumbersome and not scalable.”
The introduction of this standard establishes a more effective
test method for automotive mmWave radars that helps promote and
enable rapid development of autonomous driving technology.
To put the standard in practice and help with its definition,
Radsys chose NI’s Vehicle Radar Test System (VRTS) because it can
perform all test functions, versus traditional solutions that need
multiple systems, to meet the needs of different users at different
stages of test.
“The creation of this standard demonstrates that partnerships
between industry leaders is the best path to develop autonomous
vehicles,” said Chad Chesney, general manager of NI’s
Transportation business unit. “At NI, we're proud that our
software-connected solutions enabled Radsys to implement standards
in China, and we see this as another proof point that NI is the
right partner when you need to Engineer Ambitiously.”
For several years, industry players such as the Tsinghua
University Suzhou Automobile Research Institute, FAW, Asia-Pacific
Mechanical and Electrical, Chengtai Technology and Nova Electronics
have used Radsys’ and NI’s products for radar testing. Because of
Radsys’ level of familiarity with radar testing, the working group
was confident in Radsys’ ability to lead the creation of the
standard.
“Radsys recognized the importance of test in the development of
intelligent connected vehicles,” said Zheng Kai, CEO of Radsys.
“This standard is the result of innovation, a joint effort by the
entire industry chain and participants’ win-win mindset. We at
Radsys are honored to have led this effort in support of the
Chinese automotive industry.”
