Purpose and goal
This project develops modern testing of vehicles and related systems, through increased digitalisation. WP1: digitize test activities, integrate open protocols, enable the execution of driver models in physical testing and implement ISO 22133 in test equipment. WP2: scanning and data collection, data management, storage and reuse. WP3: explores AstaZero´s role in Swedish cyber security testing, not only in the finished vehicle but also the interfaces between subsystems. WP4: Work towards Euro NCAP 2030 for the implementation of safer functions and safer cars.
Expected effects and result
The project modernizes AstaZero to better meet the demands that customers and researchers have for testing "in the computer". Digital testing is suitable as a preparation for physical testing and can filter out the test cases that are vital to perform physically. A scanning rig is developed, for scanning environments digitally, on the test track and elsewhere. In the future, AstaZero can be a resource and place for practical cyber security testing, a vital function for Sweden that does not exist today. AstaZero can, after the project, test according to Euro NCAP´s roadmap for 2030.
