Abstract—The development and verification of automotive perception systems require collecting data from various sensors mounted on a vehicle, such as cameras, radars, and Light Detection and Ranging sensors (LIDARs). It is not enough to simply record the data; maintaining proper calibration and synchronization between the sensors throughout the entire data recording process is crucial. This paper presents a device designed specifically to verify the calibration and synchronization of vehicle sensors, including LIDARs, radars, and cameras. The proposed solution utilizes a spinning disk that is precisely synchronized with an external clock signal, offering adjustable phase shifting and featuring permeable zones that act as shutters to trigger sensor activation. A cascade double-loop control system is implemented to minimize phase differences, ensuring high accuracy in synchronization. The quality of the synchronization mechanism was evaluated using an oscilloscope, with results showing a high level of precision. Finally, the device’s effectiveness was validated through an experiment conducted on the target vehicle sensor system, confirming its efficiency in maintaining synchronization.
