ADAS Systems

Testing, Validation and Simulation

CSI is a key reference for ADAS testing and validation, leveraging advanced instrumentation and highly specialized expertise.

It supports the development of driver assistance systems through testing compliant with regulatory standards and Euro NCAP methodologies.

Main systems tested:

  • AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking)
  • LDW (Lane Departure Warning)
  • LKA (Lane Keep Assist)
  • SAS (Speed Assist System)
  • BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
  • ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)
  • Parking assistance systems
  • BSIS / MOIS
  • ADDW / DDAW
  • Assisted Driving Systems (AD)

Thanks to its consolidated expertise in active safety, CSI also offers advanced virtual simulations, recreating realistic scenarios that include:

  • vehicle dynamics
  • driver behavior
  • road environment (road signs, traffic)
  • interaction with sensors and actuators

Advanced Instrumentation for Automotive Testing

CSI leverages state-of-the-art technologies for vehicle performance acquisition and analysis, including:

  • Full RTK coverage across all proving grounds
  • 7 complete Driving Robot systems
  • 7 Oxford IMU units
  • 6 DTC AVAD3 systems
  • 6 Car-to-Target systems
  • 3D targets (STA, EMT, GVT)
  • Dummies for AEB VRU testing
  • Humanetics/DSD UFO Pro systems
  • 4Active FreeBoard platforms
  • 4Active Belt system

CSI is also able to manage complex configurations and activities such as:

  • vehicle data acquisition
  • integration of external sensors
  • advanced analysis (“black box approach”)

Automotive Proving Grounds: Bollate and Biella

Bollate Track – Dynamic Testing and Active Safety

The Bollate proving ground is designed for dynamic testing under controlled and repeatable conditions.

Main activities:

  • ADAS and active safety testing
  • Braking tests (ABS, ESC)
  • Stability and controllability
  • Handling and evasive maneuvers
  • Sensor validation

Surfaces can be configured to simulate different grip conditions, enabling realistic and critical test scenarios.

Integration with advanced systems and the RE.VE.A.L.® platform enables:

  • real-time monitoring
  • detailed performance analysis

Biella Track – Real Scenario Validation

The Biella site enables final vehicle validation in controlled real-world environments.

Activities:

  • Testing on extra-urban and mountain routes
  • Durability and reliability testing
  • Vehicle behavior analysis under variable conditions
  • ADAS validation in real driving scenarios

Custom scenarios can be created to reproduce realistic usage conditions without the unpredictability of real traffic.
