Collaboration between Vector and Solectrix in the field of data replay Image rights: Vector Informatik GmbH
Realistic and reproducible testing of camera-based driver assistance and automated driving functions is becoming increasingly important. Against this backdrop, Vector Informatik and Solectrix are jointly introducing a powerful data replay solution that enables development and test teams to efficiently and transparently validate state-of-the-art ADAS and AD functions.
To achieve this goal, the two companies combine their core competencies: Vector contributes its proven simulation and test tools CANoe and DYNA4 for vehicle communication, remaining bus simulation, and virtual driving scenarios, while Solectrix adds its long-standing expertise in embedded vision along with its high-performance video capture and replay system proFRAME. Together, the partners offer a broad range of capabilities for testing and video replay.
Through the full integration of CANoe, DYNA4, and proFRAME, users gain access to an end-to-end development and test solution that enables precise, synchronized, and reproducible playback of camera data from real and virtual scenarios. Development teams can therefore run identical test scenarios across different software versions, detect regressions at an early stage, and deliberately analyze complex or rare traffic situations. This significantly reduces test effort, improves the comparability of results, and shortens development cycles.
Real-time camera replay for ADAS/AD validation
For the first time, virtual driving scenarios can be output in real time as camera streams, while simultaneous camera I²C emulation is performed. This makes it possible to precisely validate the environment model generated by data fusion and the ADAS/AD driving functions based on it on the ECU – entirely without the use of a physical vehicle. Additional test scenarios, such as targeted fault simulation through manipulation of video or I²C data, allow boundary and failure scenarios to be investigated in a controlled manner and enable focused validation of safety-critical ADAS and AD functions.
A modular toolset for reproducible ADAS/AD validation
Overall, users benefit from a modular, extensible toolset that combines reproducible testing, flexible data sources, and comprehensive simulation capabilities within a consistent, end-to-end approach. This integration creates transparency and efficiency in the development process and forms the foundation for continuous validation of advanced ADAS and AD systems.
As a premiere, Vector Informatik and Solectrix will present the joint video replay test setup for the first time at the Automotive Testing Expo, taking place June 23–26, 2026, in Stuttgart. Visitors can experience the new test environment at the Vector booth (Hall 1, Booth 1602) with real and virtual camera data, and discover additional embedded vision and proFRAME showcases at the Solectrix booth (Hall 1, Booth 1321).
Experts from both companies will be available on site for discussions and technical exchange.
