Taking Autonomous
System Testing
to the Next Level

AVL Hungary Vehicle Engineering Center outline AVL’s
commitment to ADAS/AD and vehicle testing

AVL – THE WEATHERMAKER FOR TESTING SUCCESS
Many road accidents happen in adverse weather and lighting conditions.
So, it is very important that ADAS and AD systems can perform reliably
in any conceivable weather. Since it is not possible to carry out testing in
every type of weather on the open road, an alternative must be sought.
That is the solution provided by our new test center in Roding, Germany.
Building an automated vehicle is not simply about equipping a car to
drive itself down the road. It needs to function reliably in a near-infinite
number of different scenarios, many of which pose a danger to humans
in and around the vehicle. Testing and validation must therefore be exhaustive
and comprehensive, and AVL offers its industry partners a wide
range of solutions to this challenge, including two unique new facilities
to support the development effort.
