PreScan is a simulation platform consisting of a GUI-based preprocessor to define scenarios and a run-time environment to execute them. The engineer's prime interface for making and testing algorithms includes MATLAB and Simulink. PreScan can be used from model-based controller design (MIL) to real-time tests with software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems. PreScan can operate in open-loop & closed-loop, and offline & online mode. It is an open software platform which has flexible interfaces to link to 3rd party vehicle dynamics model (e.g. CarSIM, dSPACE ASM, etc) and 3rd party HIL simulators/hardware (e.g. ETAS, dSPACE, Vector).
PreScan comprises several modules that together provide everything an ADAS system developer needs. An intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) allows you to build your scenario and model your sensors, while the Matlab/Simulink interface enables you to add a control system. This interface can also be used to import existing Matlab/Simulink models such as vehicle dynamics models. When running your experiment, the visualisation viewer gives a realistic 3D representation of the scenario. Optionally, tools such as dSPACE ControlDesk and NI LabVIEW can be used for activities such as 'data acquisition' and 'test automation'.
The program works using four easy steps
Build scenario
A dedicated pre-processor (GUI) allows users to build and modify traffic scenarios within minutes using a database of road sections, infrastructure components (trees, buildings, traffic signs), actors (cars, trucks, bikes and pedestrians), weather conditions (such as rain, snow and fog) and light sources (such as the sun, headlights and lampposts). Representations of real roads can be quickly made by reading in information from OpenStreetMap, Google Earth, Google 3D Warehouse and/or a GPS navigation device...
