Last day of the Connected Conference 2016 in Paris. It’s time to visit MOVEO & Groupement ADAS booth for a presentation of Nexyad connected product SafetyNex : onboard risk assessment of accident in real-time.
Groupement ADAS is a cluster of SMEs : Sherpa Engineering, GlobalSensing Technologies, Intempora, Car&D, Transpolis, Nomadic Solutions, and Nexyad.
Christophe Giannetti of GlobalSensing Technologies & Olivier Benel of Nexyad.
Active Safety Europe : ADAS to Autonomous.
Lot’s of visitors yesterday and many contacts for Nexyad.
Today Nicolas du LAC CEO of Intempora and member of Groupement ADAS make a presentation for the congressmen : ADAS Validation: non-deterministic algorithms vs ISO-26262
Number crunching technologies and non-deterministic algorithms (image processing, neural networks, data fusion…) are taking in charge more and more functions and driving tasks in vehicles. Autonomous vehicles will be based on many of these. How to validate such functions when facing such different possible driving scenarios ?
Our colleague Nicolas du LAC of Groupement ADAS (SME’s cluster)
Today Nexyad & Intempora are present in Munich at the European Active Safety Congress and Exhibition : ADAS to Autonomous. The both companies share a booth sponsorised by Moveo and Groupement ADAS (cluster).
Here Gerard Yahiaoui, Nexyad CEO, and Philippe Lebon of Intempora on the right.
Gérard Yahiaoui will present for NEXYAD a paper about Validation of ADAS at the next Autonomous Vehicle Test & Development Symposium 31 may – 2 June 2016 in Stuttgart, Germany.
Save the dates and come to visit the Nexyad booth at the Stuttgart Messe.

At the safety week symposium in Aschaffenburg (Germany), NEXYAD presented :
. A paper about ADAS validation : methodology and tools
. The products on the booth : RoadNex (road detection), ObstaNex (Obstacles detection),
VisiNex Onboard (visibility measurement), SafetyNex (estimating safety level of driving).
NEXYAD has got a booth at the Safety Week symposium in Aschaffenburg in Germany from may 19th to 21st showing the module RoadNex (road detection), ObstaNex (obstacle detection) running in the real time environment RT-MAPS, and available for customers that want to quickly develop an autonomous vehicle/demo car. Those modules are under shifting to smart phones and electronic devices.
NEXYAD also presents a paper written with the company INTEMPORA, about ADAS validation methodology and tools.
NEXYAD is member of the “Groupement ADAS”.
General Information
Nexyad was at the CESA Congress (organized by sia) on 3 and 4 December 2014.
Our presence was at three levels:
. Participation in the round table on the development of ADAS
. Publication on a methodology for validating adas (ADAS validation)
. Presence on the booth ADAS Mov’eo Group
The congres was full of contributions, and main important points we noticed are:
. Emergence of new business models opportunities for high-tech SMEs technology in the world of ADAS
. Strong awareness of the need for ADAS test and validation methodology
. Emergence of highly structured sensors strategies for classifying
ADAS in terms of features, cost, operating range, robustness, …
. Round table
Participants in the roundtable were:
. Maria Belen Aranda Colas, Robert Bosch
. Ching-Yao Chang, University of Berkeley
. Thierry Lehay, PSA Peugeot Citroën
. Patrice Reilhac Valeo
. Gabriel Toffolo, Renault
. Gérard Yahiaoui Nexyad
Questions focused on the need for standardization of HMI and on the need to create new job profiles and competences to effectively develop ADAS and autonomous vehicle, and also on the opportunity for SMEs to find new business models in this ADAS field. Also mentioned the need for standards methods and tools For ADAS validation. Nexyad exposed the opportunity for SMEs to use the nomadic systems of image acquisition, computing and storage (smart phones). these new devices make it possible for SMEs to imagine B2C applications.
. Publication of Nexyad
Nexyad presented the AGENDA methodology that was originally developed in the 90 to specify learning and test data bases for training and validation of artificial neural networks applications.
It appears that this methodology is completely adapted to the specification of ADAS validation
databases.
Nexyad is also currently integrating this methodology in an upcoming tool that will send host such a database and easily manage all crossings of road scenes variability factors (work in collaboration with the SMEs Intempora and Civitec).
During the same session other organizations (Daimler for instance) also presented very interesting for the validation of ADAS.
The proliferation of interesting ideas on this key issue is rather good news and suggests a significant advance in the near future.
Information générale
Nexyad était sur le congrès CESA (organisé par la sia) les 3 et 4 décembre 2014.
Notre présence était sur trois plans :
. participation à la table ronde sur l’évolution des ADAS
. publication sur une méthodologie de validation des ADAS
. présence sur le stand groupé du Groupement ADAS de Mov’eo
Le salon a été riche en contributions, et les points importants que nous avons notés ou communiqués sont:
. l’émergence de nouvelles opportunités de business models pour les PME de haute technologie dans le monde des ADAS
. la prise de conscience forte de la nécessité de disposer de méthodologie de test et de validation des systèmes ADAS et des fonctionnalités de délégation de conduite.
. l’émergence de stratégies capteurs très structurées permettant de les classer en termes de fonctions ADAS, de coûts, de distance de fonctionnement, de robustesse, …
. Table ronde :
Les participants à cette table ronde étaient :
. maria Belen Aranda Colas, Robert Bosch
. Ching-Yao Chang, University of Berkeley
. Thierry Lehay, PSA peugeot Citroën
. Patrice Reilhac, Valeo
. Gabriel Toffolo, Renault
. Gérard Yahiaoui, Nexyad
Les questions ont porté sur la nécessité de standardisation des IHM, sur les nouveaux métiers à créer pour développer efficacement les ADAS et le véhicule autonome, et sur l’opportunité pour les PME de trouver de nouveaux business models dans ce paysage des ADAS. A aussi été mentionné la nécessité de disposer de moyens standards de validation des ADAS. Nexyad a exposé l’opportunité pour les PME que constituent les moyens nomades d’acquisition d’images, de calcul, et de stockage (smart phone). Ces moyens nouveaux permettent en effet aux PME d’imaginer des applications B2C.
. Publication de Nexyad :
Nexyad a présenté la méthodologie AGENDA qui avait initialement été développée dans les années 90 pour spécifier les bases de données d’apprentissage et de test des réseaux de neurones artificiels. Il apparaît que cette méthodologie soit tout à fait adaptée à la spécification des bases de données de validation des ADAS.
Nexyad est d’ailleurs en train d’intégrer cette méthodologie dans un futur outil qui permettra d’adresser une telle base de données et de gérer simplement tous les croisements de facteurs de variabilité des scènes routière (en collaboration entre autre, avec les PME Intempora et Civitec).
La session a permis à d’autres organisations (dont Daimler) de présenter des approches très intéressantes pour la validation des ADAS.
Le foisonnement d’idées complémentaires sur ce sujet clé est plutôt une très bonne nouvelle et laisse présager d’une avancée significative dans un avenir proche.
