EXPanding Odd TEST coverage (EXPOTEST)

Purpose and goal

The project aims to solve parts of the V&V process for AD vehicles, by expanding the test coverage within an Operative Design Domain (ODD). By installing infrastructure sensors on Generic Site at AstaZero To accurately detect and record key ODD parameters during tests, this data will be combined with high definition (HD) map over the area and a data distribution and login system, this enables a more efficent datadriven V&V work. Example by simplify scenario extraction from performed test and optimisation of the test coverage.

Expected effects and result

This project will enhance Sweden´s competitiveness in the AD segment by using digitalization in the V&V cycle during the development of an AD vehicle, reducing development costs and time to market. The project also works towards the integration of vehicles and infrastructure for safe transport solutions and enables methods and technologies with clear applications for the development and implementation of safe automation. By also having SMEs in the project, opportunities for important collaboration between SMEs and large companies are opened

Planned approach and implementation

The project will be carried out over 3 years. An agile work process will be applied where the project works in increments to address the challenges ahead. The start phase will consist of planning and an architecture definition phase of the intended system. Then, the various systems will be connected and aggregate and utilize data from the system during the V&V cycle for the development of autonomous vehicles.
