Vehicle Dynamics Systems

In the context of next-generation driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicle functions, a cross-functional testing strategy was required to ensure compliance with both safety-critical standards and internal quality benchmarks.
Industry: Automotive
Project Duration: 10 months
Client: Confidential OEM
Location: Germany (onsite & hybrid)
Project Overview
In the context of next-generation driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicle functions, a cross-functional testing strategy was required to ensure compliance with both safety-critical standards and internal quality benchmarks. Feature teams working on advanced vehicle dynamics and perception functions needed to be methodically aligned and empowered.

Test Management &
Supplier Coordination
A safety-critical control unit required full end-to-end validation from concept phase to start of production (SOP). International Tier-1 suppliers had to be assessed, integrated into the project environment, and continuously supported in meeting OEM quality standards.

Camera-Based Object Detection & Lane Tracking
As part of an R&D initiative to advance driver assistance technologies, two camera-based modules were developed: a real-time capable algorithm for detecting and tracking moving objects, and an enhanced lane tracking system for more accurate lane recognition and maintenance.
