Connected highways: a controlled & realistic testbed environment to validate ADAS/AD and V2X functions

The introduction of ADAS, V2X and AD functions creates a growing need for more complex yet realistic testing environments. On one hand, brute force road testing to accumulate millions of miles doesn’t seem viable. On the other hand, closed track environments lack the representativity of open road environments. Open road testbeds thus provide relevant controlled and repeatable environments to test new automotive features efficiently. Examples include ground truth location data using roadside perception for ADAS testing, on site V2X performance evaluation to compare short-range competing technologies… Simulation capabilities can be included to test edge cases in a safe hybrid environment.
