Digital Proving Ground

Purpose and goal:

The project provides Drive Sweden and its members with digitized testing opportunities for new connected, automated and shared mobility services. This is achieved through integration between the cloud-based services and AstaZero´s vehicle-centric test platform (ATOS) and through the application of selected use cases.

Expected results and effects:

As the integrated platforms support communication and information flows, reality-based tests will be able to be carried out. The project´s results provide input to the project Digital infrastructure for the connected and automated transport system within Vinnova´s advanced digitization program. The input consists of requests and eligibility requirements to secure future interfaces within digital infrastructure for data and information flows, and these interfaces can also be used by Digital Proving Ground. The projects will run partly in parallel.

Approach and implementation:

The work in the project connects the software systems found on AstaZero´s test track with cloud services, which allows testing of digital information flows and enables testing of new use cases and scenarios connected to the outside world. To achieve this, existing software systems are adapted, and interfaces (APIs) are created that allow the systems to send data between each other. At the end of the project, selected use cases are demonstrated on AstaZero´s test track.
