Autonomous Emergency Braking systems have been mandatory for all newly registered vehicles in the EU since July 2024. However, the system is often only tested under optimal weather conditions. But what happens in adverse weather conditions, such as darkness, glare, rain or fog? How does your AEB system work, and [...]

How can autonomous freight transport seamlessly transition from the warehouse to the production hall – navigating busy streets and maneuvering through complex environments – without any localization gaps? The challenge: The transition from warehouse to road and back demands precise, end-to-end localization. The biggest challenge: seamlessly switching between indoor and [...]

A good and important option for us is to actively shape the standards that define the industry. That’s exactly what AVL Software and Functions does as a contributor of the ISO working group on “Road vehicles − Test scenarios for automated driving systems”. Last week, the group met to discuss [...]

Energy Gone Wrong: The Hidden Risks of Poor Energy Management What happens when energy isn't distributed smartly in hybrid and electric vehicles? Critical systems like steering and braking could fail in emergencies, putting safety and efficiency at risk. That's why smart energy management is more than a feature - it's [...]

Yesterday we celebrated the successful completion of our funding projects in the field of sensor technology for autonomous driving with high-ranking guests. State Secretary Tobias Gotthard, local representatives from politics and administration, the team from VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH and our partners from Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften Kempten, OTH [...]

In our exclusive interview with Prof. Dr. Jan Dünnweber, Professor at OTH Regensburg, we shed light on the innovative FLASHMOB KI project. This intuitive app enables flexible A-to-B transportation that complements regional public transport. Thanks to intelligent route optimization, the best possible route is found for all passengers, and the [...]

Are you ready to test the limits of your ADAS/AD systems? How resilient are your vehicle technologies against changing weather and light conditions? What does the 'Roding Weather Dataset' offer? Varied Traffic Scenarios: Including complex turning maneuvers and more. Unusual Objects: Captured accurately across diverse environmental conditions. Authentic Raw Data: [...]

Autonomous and climate-friendly – that’s the future of driving! And this is exactly what is becoming reality in Roding, more precisely in Neubäu am See. AVL Software and Functions AutBus will start its trial operation today and in the future, it will take its passengers autonomously from Neubäu train station [...]

How does your ADAS/AD sensor system perform in rain, fog or difficult lighting conditions? Rain, fog, humidity and challenging lighting conditions can significantly affect the functionality of key sensors such as radar, cameras, and LiDAR. The robustness of sensor perception in modern vehicles is crucial for safety-critical functions such as [...]

Last week, we welcomed the Bavarian State Minister for Science and the Arts, Markus Blume, as well as other Bavarian state politicians to the AVL Mobility and Sensor Test Centre. Pioneering ADAS/AD innovations are not only being developed in urban centres, but also in rural areas. At the AVL Software [...]
