genesys0215The GPS-supported "Adma" gyro system from Genesys was specially developed and built for vehicle dynamics and driver assistance measurements in the automotive sector. With the Automotive Dynamic Motion Analyzer (Adma), all movement states such as acceleration, speed, position, rotational speed, position and float angle of the vehicle can be recorded with high precision while moving.

With the device generation Adma 3.0, new functions are available, such as the output rate of 1000 Hz with unrestricted data set and a data latency of less than 1 ms. In practice, such high data rates in real time are particularly valuable, especially in the area of ​​driver assistance development. For example, if a vehicle is moving at 100 km / h, the position can be resolved to less than 3 cm.

In addition to CAN bus interfaces, the device now also contains Ethernet interfaces for data output / updates and driving robots. An interface for connecting a so-called indoor GPS system has already been prepared. This enables driving tests to be carried out with centimeter precision under reproducible environmental conditions in the hall.


Distance sensor with fast time-of-flight measurement method


Die Delta-Funktion ermöglicht eine zentimetergenaue Messung des distancees, der Relativgeschwindigkeit oder des Relativwinkels zwischen mehreren Fahrzeugen und das in Echtzeit mittels WLAN-Verbindung zweier Admas. Dadurch wird der Aufbau für alle Arten von Tests von Abstandssensoren wie Radar oder Lidar and driver assistance systems such as ACC, FCW and AEB are easier and more reliable. With the new generation, the general settings can be configured quickly and easily using a web browser. The new web interface is full of new functions and will therefore replace the system software previously used in the future.
