1. DIAGNOSE: Basic security Check, Ehanced security Check , Penetration Test on ECUs
Development of Spear tool (python) for performing a complete security check on ECUs (based on CAN, CAN FD and FlexRay protocols).with CANDela files The same processes can be executed with diagnose tools like CANoe too
- XCP (Universal Measurement and Calibration Protocol) penetration test: Check possiblities of reading/writing on the ECUs
- JTAG examination and debugging (READ and WRITE): Check if ECUs can be accessed over JTAG
- Acces Control List violation Check: make sure that some services can be executed with the right roles in the correct sessions
- Security Access challenge Test: check if keys and seeds are new and randomly generated after new request or ECU reset

1. Sensors calibration (e.g. of stereo multi-purpose camera, lidar camera). Calibration of sensors (e.g. by odometry), both on the extrinsic level and on the intrinsic level. for autonomous driving.
2. Adjustment of the calibration so that the camera modules detect the same target.
3. With Lidar: In the first step: registration of the point clouds from several LiDARs, then a registration is carried out for all point clouds recorded and registered during a drive. Finally, the trajectory of the sensor is determined.
4. Data recording at the Dailmer Auto in Renningen in bag file format. These bag files, consisting of uncalibrated sensor data, are used as input data, e.g. for odometry-based calibration, to generate a suitable calibration for sensor modules. This new calibration is then installed and tested in the vehicle.
5. Other processes (c++) to validate the calibration e.g. based on rotation and translation errors of the different sensor modules.
6. The "Odometry-based-Calibration" and "xsensor Calibration" are mostly implemented in C++ and also in Python.

hardware tester:
1. Automation of test procedures for sensor and actuator simulation on suitable models in HIL (hardware in the loop).
2. Test systems with VT system: Test between control unit and actuators/sensors using CANoe via residual bus simulation. Bus connection to CAN and FLexRay: Separate test facilities for each channel, List bus traffic with FlexRay, and sense frames interactively
3. Testing and activation of outputs and inputs of the control unit via digital module (VT25168).
4. Architecture: AUTOSAR : Developing (SWCs) and testing (JTAG, basic security test) on ECUs (All kinds, on power trains and telematics)
5. CANoe security check on ECUs (CAN and CAN FD messages) based on cdd CANDela files
6. Also test of control unit via Ethernet through interface hardware Specific protocols such as TCP, UDP, IP were used.
7. Simulation of the actuators with load and measurement module (VT10049)
8. CANoe Connectivity Hub: Functional test of the ECU through an interface hardware via VH4110
9. Covering error situations in the control unit test (between control units and sensors and actuators):
- Test of electrical wiring
- Sensors and actuators test
- Input- and output values test
