Vehicle Data Preprocessing

Once set up in either the CAN, Manual, or Scenario mode, the real-time vehicle data are input into a preprocessing set in order to define control parameters for the various sound players in ASDforEV.

In some occasions, once data is received by ASDforEV, it still needs be converted so that it can be further used in the software. For example, if speed values are sent in miles-per-hour (mph) to ASDforEV, while the software uses speed values in kilometers-per-hour (kph), then data must be converted from values in mph to values in kph. Another example is when proximity sensor measuring distances to obstacles (or even taking discrete integer values) should control the repetition rate of a radar sound function, therefore data must be converted to silence duration values in seconds. This conversion is performed in ASDforEV by vehicle data preprocessing. Vehicle data preprocessing therefore transforms raw CAN values (in any unit and range of values) to data that can be used by the software's audio players’ inputs.
