Automotive systems require increasing amounts of compute power and software content―and years of development time. Accelerate the process with Synopsys. We help you build smarter, more secure chips and software―faster―for safety-critical applications like ADAS, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous driving.
The automotive industry is shaping and shifting from its previous position, every day. The widespread adoption of AD or Autonomous Driving is pumping up from Level 0 to Level 2 with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). At SRM Technologies, we strive to build modern control systems and software development, supporting AD and ADAS. These include several features or backbone supporting Autonomous Driving such as Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Control, Braking Assist and Parking Assist. We are providing the full transition mode from assisted driving to fully autonomous driving. And for that OEMs are required to be ready for AD levels 3 and beyond.
SRM Technologies is a trusted partner for OEMs or original equipment manufacturers and thus, can help you to quickly embrace these functionalities. With our comprehensive expertise in engineering, simulation and testing, customisation can be done thoroughly and intelligently as per the demands and to fulfil crucial requirements.

Each service is intelligently tailored to bring flawless control and functions development, to methods for development and testing. Let our team of SRM Technologies guide you to the future of autonomous driving.
Automotive driving and technology are bound to complete the futuristic tasks along with assisted driving features such as Lane Keeping Assist and Parking Assist to fully autonomous driving. As autonomous driving industry accelerated with daily needs of modern components and more reliable software, OEMs are facing huge challenges. These greater challenges include pressure of time to market, increasing development effort, the complexity of developing components and a huge testing effort, ensuring reliable functionality, robustness, safety, performance quality and user adeptness. SRM Technologies has a range of solutions to overcome these hurdles.
The five levels of Autonomous Driving
Driver assistance systems
A driver assistance system performs either sustained longitudinal or lateral vehicle motion control in defined use cases to support the driver. The driver has to permanently monitor the system and be capable of taking corrective action immediately and at any time, if a system failure occurs.
Partially automated driving
The system performs both sustained longitudinal and lateral vehicle motion control in defined use cases in order to support the driver. The driver has to permanently monitor the system and be capable of taking corrective action immediately and at any time, if a system failure occurs.
Conditionally automated driving
The system performs the complete driving task in defined use cases. When the system requests the driver to intervene, the driver must be capable of taking over control of the vehicle again at any time. This can occur either in the event of a system failure or when the system reaches its limits.
Highly automated driving
The system performs the complete driving task in defined use cases. Even in the event of a system failure or when the system reaches its limits, the responsibility of the complete driving task remains with the system, which brings the vehicle to a safe condition.
Fully automated driving
The system performs the complete driving task in every use case, so it is able to drive in urban areas, on main roads and on highways under all environmental conditions. If a system failure occurs, the system remains responsible of the driving task and brings the vehicle to a safe condition.

Benefits
Automated Parking / Personal Park Assist / Autonomous Valet
SRMTech combines camera systems with ultrasonic and radar technologies to provide active guidance in parking. This feature can detect open parking spots to perform parallel or perpendicular parking maneuvers and will park the car automatically without input from the driver.
Rear Seat Monitoring
SRMTech’s Rear Seat Monitoring displays a view of the second and third row passengers in light or dark conditions with a high definition camera. Provides zoom feature. Driver distractions are limited.
Cross Traffic View
At certain intersections, the driver cannot evaluate the traffic situation until very late. With Cross Traffic View the driver sees an early overview of the situation displayed from front, left and right views, and can react accordingly. The feature supports the driver in the early detection of children, pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles and surrounding objects while in garages, narrow streets, tight junctions and other difficult driving situations.
Dirty Lens Detection
SRMTech provides the detection of camera / image conditions providing the optimal operation of drivers and their vehicles. The Dirty Lens Detection feature will detect the level of contamination and identify the affected image region. Detection of solid lens blockage (dirt, mud), transparent lens blockage (salt film, condensation) and more.
Lighting Automation
SRMTech’s camera, lighting and vision solutions for lighting automation adapt the vehicle ‘s illumination in dark and low light conditions as features such as Automatic High Beam, Intelligent Light Ranging, Glare Free High Beam or Spot Lighting.
Automated Emergency Braking
AEB alerts drivers to collisions with vehicles in their path. If the driver does not react to the alerts, the vehicle automatically brakes to mitigate or avoid a collision.
Rear AEB ultrasonic based object detection fused with camera will automatically apply brakes during backup maneuvers in case of an emergency and imminent collision.
Surround View
SRMTech’s camera signals are processed and stitched into one single picture to show the vehicle from a bird’s-eye view. By providing drivers with a seamless 360° view of the vehicle and surrounding environment, vehicle safety and driver/passenger security are enhanced.
Automated Highway Driving
SRMTech’s Automated Highway Driving systems can determine path planning while also allowing for the negotiation of transitions from one stretch of roadway to another. Features include Traffic Jam Assist, Highway Assist, Highway Pilot, and Automated Emergency Braking are intended to help the driver monitor, evaluate, and drive safer in high speed scenarios.
