ArchitectECA2030 at DSC2023

On the 6th-8th of September 2023, ArchitectECA2030 was presented at the 22nd Driving Simulation & Virtual Reality Conference (DSC 2023) In Antibes, Franc. The DSC2023 gathered driving simulation specialists from the industrial and academic communities as well as commercial simulation providers. With about 80 speakers in scientific and industrial product solution sessions, keynotes, tutorials and round tables, the latest trends in XIL (MIL, SIL, HIL, DIL, VIL, CIL) and XR simulation for ADAS, automotive HMI and driving simulation design, motion sickness and rendering, as well as connected and autonomous vehicle verification and validation were presented.

On the first day of the conference, ArchitectECA2030 coordinator Georg Stettinger moderated special session "ADAS/AD (virtual) validation process targeting homologation" and many interesting talks and discussions about the development of self-driving technologies, current industry and research activities and collaborative European activities supporting homologation. Also, ArchitectECA2030 partner Jürgen Niehaus from SafeTRANS gave a presentation about the Reference Homologation Process (RHP) developed in ArchitectECA2020.

The RHP represents a structured way to bring various homologation relevant‚ building blocks‘ together in a unifying framework. During the session, the 'roadmap to homologation' was discussed between key experts from industry, academia, standardization organizations, and regulatory bodies.
