Cooperation for the standardized test domain of tomorrow

Purpose and goal

The project will contribute to the development and dissemination of standardized formats and interfaces within the test domain of autonomous vehicles and active safety systems, specifically the standards developed within ASAM (Association for Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems). The goal is to contribute insights from previous research projects, and AstaZeros unique perspectives such as an open and independent test track, so that standardized formats benefit more actors, and reduce the percieved distance between simulation and physical testing.

Expected effects and result

The project results are achieved partly through the development and publication of standards via ASAM, and partly through technical solutions that are developed during the project´s life cycle. The project will contribute to well-adapted standards for simulation as well as physical testing, only then can synergistic effects be seen. The effects of such standards will benefit the automotive industry in general, as feedback loops and development times can be shortened, as well as AstaZero specifically as a world-leading test track, compatible with the latest standardized formats.

Planned approach and implementation

The implementation of the project is divided into four interconnected work packages; analysis and strategic planning, collaboration within ASAM, conceptualisation and dissemination, as well as measurable ODDs for testing and monitoring. The interplay between the work packages is achieved through an iterative work from analysis to development, conceptualisation and demonstration that feedback to participators in the standardization work within ASAM.
