Facilities Highlights
Why proving grounds exist
• Safety of public and test staff
• Confidentiality
• Repeatable assessments/evaluation of vehicles and technologies
Automotive Testing Today
• Product development – noise, ride, handling, durability, emissions, crashworthiness, and fuel economy
• NCAP and compliance testing
• Other test standards • Mainly Safety
Automated and connected vehicle testing
• Scenarios instead of single events
– Multiple vehicles, targets and robots
– Acceleration, stabilization, event and recovery
– Testers need to know position, speed, and headway real time for each actor
– Repeatability is challenging when using human drivers as the inputs to test the machine driver
• Proving grounds can’t replicate all of the environments necessary
• Infrastructure more complex but important to evaluating technology
