LHP and Konrad Technologies Collaborate to Optimize ADAS/ADS Functional Safety Test Management for the Automotive Industry

COLUMBUS, IND. — May 25, 2021 — Konrad Technologies and LHP Engineering Solutions (LHP) today announced a collaboration to deliver their new ADAS HIL Testing Solution, a workflow management system with test capability for ADAS and ADS functional safety standards to the automotive industry.

For the past 25 years, Konrad Technologies has been a global supplier of automated test equipment for the Consumer Electronics, Automotive, and Aerospace/Defense markets. LHP Engineering Solutions (LHP) is a global engineering services provider and technology integrator within the transportation sector.

With the ongoing adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS) in the automotive industry, there is a significant effort to establish safety standards to support the mass deployment of these technologies. To ensure that these ADAS and ADS systems comply with safety standards, manufacturers need an efficient, cost-effective method for thoroughly testing and validating their performance. LHP and Konrad Technologies are leveraging their experience in functional safety and sensor testing, respectively, to develop a cohesive testing and tracking workflow for several ADAS/ADS safety standards, such as SOTIF and EuroNCAP.

"Konrad Technologies provides test automation tools for radar, camera, lidar, and ADAS overall. LHP provides state-of-the-art functional safety workflows and tools. Together, we enable accelerated testing of ADAS systems in a functional safety environment that meets the latest safety standards and certification, keeping the public safe and protecting companies from liability,” said Steve Neemeh, Chief Technology Officer, LHP. “The future of automotive is fully autonomous. As ADAS systems evolve and become increasingly complex, their verification becomes exponentially more challenging. Konrad Technologies and LHP will be there every step of the way with the best in verification and validation equipment and process management tools.”

"Pairing LHP’s functional safety experience with Konrad Technologies’ expertise in ADAS tests with a traceable workflow management process connected to an open test platform creates an effective joint design and test effort for the ADAS/ADS development process with traceability for functional safety standard requirements," said Ram Mirwani, Director of Global Business Development at Konrad Technologies. “The open test platforms enable connectivity to multiple third-party test tools for customized test plans according to any ADAS functional safety standard.”

The unique solution provided by the partnership between Konrad and LHP offers significant cost savings, faster time-to-market, and standardized processes for complying with functional safety regulations and requirements. Together, LHP and Konrad are committed to providing complete automation of the ADAS testing environment that accounts for every standard.
