en.Wedoany.com Reported - MAHLE and Rohde & Schwarz have jointly developed a technology application that enables, for the first time, reliable inspection of sensors in modern Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) after repairs. The core of this platform is the TechPRO® Digital ADAS 2.0 Extra calibration system from MAHLE Lifecycle and Mobility, which integrates the R&S RadEsT radar tester from Rohde & Schwarz.
Previously, after accidents or repairs, there was a lack of standardized testing methods for ADAS sensors, especially those installed on body components. MAHLE and Rohde & Schwarz are now working to fill this gap. The new technical solution is suitable for a wide range of users, including automotive repair shops, maintenance workshops, manufacturers, as well as insurance companies, regulatory bodies, and testing organizations. In the future, the system can be used for static testing of ADAS sensors as part of routine inspections. This joint innovation will be showcased at TÜV MobiCon 2026 in Berlin on June 11, 2026.
Felix-Matthias Walter, Head of Service Solutions at MAHLE Lifecycle and Mobility, stated that this innovation elevates driver assistance systems to a new level, making their functionality measurable, understandable, and standardizable for the first time after repairs. This is not just a technological advancement but a decisive step towards greater safety, transparency, and trust in the entire mobility ecosystem.
MAHLE's TechPRO® Digital ADAS 2.0 Extra calibration system utilizes integrated ultrasonic sensors to ensure precise vehicle positioning directly from inside the vehicle. Automatic vehicle identification, laser distance measurement, and electric adjustment of the target system guarantee an efficient calibration process. The optimized display lifting system ensures precise alignment even for particularly tall vehicles.
Rohde & Schwarz's radar tester, the R&S RadEsT, adds additional capabilities not available in pure calibration equipment, such as frequency and polarization detection, power measurement, and target and angle simulation for radar sensors. This enables inspectors to check and confirm the correct alignment and functionality of radar sensors in the MAHLE TechPRO® 2 diagnostic device after repairs or damage.
This joint development covers several core application areas. After repairs, it provides repair shops with standardized and documented confirmation that the driver assistance system is still operating within specified parameters. Additionally, it is suitable for quality and performance testing, as both correct and fault conditions can be simulated in a targeted manner. The system can also generate reproducible and auditable measurement data, which can serve as a basis for test procedures in future periodic technical inspections, regulatory requirements, or insurance company assessments.
