LONDON, April 7, 2020 – Spirent 思博倫通信是全球導航衛星系統（GNSS）測試解決方案的領導者，今天發布SimHIL，SimHIL是針對思博倫GNSS模擬器的集成式hHardware-In-the-Loop API 硬件在環（HIL）測試軟件API 。 SimHIL為汽車行業的HIL測試平台帶來了低延遲的高保真GNSS信號仿真。 

Spirent 思博倫的SimHIL軟件是為滿足汽車行業對傳感器融合的真實定位，導航和Timing的測試需求不斷增長而開發的。 隨著客戶對汽車製造商的壓力越來越大，他們需要更高級的駕駛輔助系統（ADAS）功能和先進的信息娛樂系統，測試實驗室需要能夠將Wi-Fi，攝像頭，激光雷達，雷達，慣性和GNSS數據結合起來，為這些高級汽車系統提供動力。

SimHIL helps test engineers bring accurate, controlled and coherent data from GNSS and inertial sensors to their sensor fusion algorithms within HIL test environments. Facilitating the ultra-low latency, complete control, enhanced realism, and ease of use and setup of Spirent GSS7000 and GSS9000 GNSS simulators, SimHIL is an ideal solution for OEMs and tier-one suppliers developing ADAS, V2X and sensor fusion engines. 

The new SimHIL API enables: 

• External motion input – real-time direct motion and trajectory data input from simulators.
• Sensor fusion – introducing GNSS signals into sensor fusion engines.
• V2X testing – validation and performance benchmarking of V2X applications.
• Infotainment system testing – real-time scenario feedback to system and driver responses.
• Vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) – final production form product testing.
• Accurate testing – reliable results supported by ultra-low latency simulation. Criticality of ADAS features, such as lane assist and automatic braking, mean that 3+ metres of uncertainty introduced by higher latency systems is not sufficient.

Martin Foulger, General Manager of Spirent’s Positioning, Navigation and Timing Business said: “With our SimHIL software and GNSS simulators, test engineers can bring realistic, controlled GNSS simulation to their HIL testing environments – a vital requirement in a world where ADAS features are relying more heavily and critically on accurate positioning.”

Spirent has worked with leading suppliers to ensure SimHIL is compatible with their HIL platforms and because of its open API, there’s broad scope for additional custom third-party integrations.

“When used with our GSS7000, SimHIL latency is less than 40ms from motion command to RF output and supports all GNSS and SBAS signals,” said Ricardo Verdeguer Moreno, Product Manager for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles at Spirent. “SimHIL is also compatible with all the options and features available in Spirent’s GNSS simulators, including ionospheric and tropospheric modelling, antenna patterns, date and time settings, and obscuration and multipath effects via Sim3D.”

Users can easily configure and control both the GNSS scenarios, and signal generation and vehicle motion from within the HIL simulator GUI – saving time and the possibility of error.
