The
TNO Traffic and Transport institute has announced an event for Friday, 21
November, entitled ‘Intelligent Vehicles – From Concept to Confidence.’
The purpose of the event is to unveil VEHIL, their
new hardware-in-the-loop testing facility for intelligent vehicle systems – a
facility unique worldwide. The
event will be held at the VEHIL Laboratory, Helmond, The Netherlands, and
is scheduled to follow immediately after the ITS World Congress in Madrid.
TNO is the Netherlands
Organization for Scientific Research, comprising over 5,000 scientists and
engineers addressing a broad range of societal issues.
TNO Traffic and Transport combines the expertise and experience of more
than 400 researchers at 7 independent TNO institutes
.
Information from the event
announcement follows.
Vehicles
continue to gain intelligence. Advanced Driver Assistance (ADA) systems
gradually acquire new functions. The growing complexity and increasing software
content of new generations of intelligent systems demand a new approach to
testing. TNO has identified this need and developed VEHIL (Vehicle
Hardware-In-the-Loop): a patented testing facility dedicated to testing
intelligent vehicles. To celebrate the opening of this new VEHIL test facility,
TNO is organising an international symposium about the future expansion of
intelligent vehicles in motorway and urban traffic:
Intelligent Vehicles – from Concept to Confidence.
Persons
interested and active in intelligent vehicles are invited to this symposium and
to the opening of the VEHIL testing facility, which is the first one of its kind
in the world. The
symposium will last from 10.30h to 14.50h, and will be followed by the official
opening at 15.15h. Speakers from various backgrounds will present their views on
what is needed to make a broad application of intelligent vehicle systems
possible and useful.
