EB Assist Logger Solution

Scalable & modular flexible systems for logging sensor data

With EB Assist Logger Solution you will be able to accurately record your vehicle sensor data like video (e.g. with EBX3 card: GMSL2/FPD3/GVIF) or bus communication (e.g. with EBX3 card: 2.5 GBASE-T1, Automotive Ethernet, CAN/CAN-FD, Flexray, DSI3, GPS) in a time synced way.

Benefit from high-performing, reliable automotive PC system to suit your testing and validation needs in multiple plattforms (e.g., ADAS, IVI, HMI…).

More than 1700 data loggers are in use within multiple mobile platforms. Elektrobit offers from small variants (e.g. 2wheeler) up to high variants (up to 32GB/s data rates / 500TB storage).

Smart Logging to reduce the amount of data up to 100x : with our AI solution you are able to use object triggers to start, stop your recording and to label them live automatically while driving. Further more you will be able to compress the data lossless.

TAP/By-Pass mode: No side effects in the overall system. Capture the data between your sensors and the ECU.

Scalability: High processing power allows capturing of multiple sensor streams in parallel.
You can easily combine multiple logger systems to scale your system for video or bus data capturing.

High-performance: CPUs and a customized system for different use cases (low, mid, and high variant).

HMI development & validation: with our Image Solution Box you are able to capture and stimulate display / HMI ECUs.

Customized solutions: we are developing the bus measurement devices (> 10.000 pieces) by our self and customize new modules/interfaces for your needs.

Ready-to-use system: with our modular and reusable concept we have low costs & fast delivery times.

Automated driving for Continental

 

Success story: Automated driving development test tools for Continental

The test and validation of automated vehicles is a complex task that requires millions of test miles to be run through and involves large amounts of data to be processed due to a high number of environmental sensors needed for automated driving. This is why Continental is expanding its global test drives and was seeking for high-performant products for data logging for its ADAS and automated driving product validation and in addition providing these systems to various car makers around the globe.

“We know Elektrobit as a trusted partner with deep knowledge in testing and tools development. One of the biggest projects Elektrobit realized is the measurement tool system MI5 based on our requirements for developing and testing ADAS and autonomous driving functions. Within a tight time schedule, Elektrobit developed the complete MI5 system and qualified it against our specification. More than 800 MI5 devices have already been delivered, a lot more will follow.”

Uwe Kuckelkorn, Head of Section ADAS Test & Validation, Continental
