x-road curve dynamically tests autonomous cars
x-road curve creates previously impossible options for testing semi-autonomous or autonomous vehicles
In addition to the conventional tests carried out on a roller test stand with roll/brake/ABS testing, dynamic function tests for autonomous vehicles as for example the driving behaviour in typical traffic situations are to be performed in the future on the x-road curve.
The revolutionary idea
On conventional roll test stands, vehicles can only drive straight ahead. In order to avoid a sidedrift of the vehicle and to not create the risk of it being ejected from the test stand, the driver has to constantly ensure that the vehicle remains in the centre of the test stand.
Thanks to the revolutionary test stand concept of x-road curve, it is possible to keep the vehicle in the centre of the test stand fully automatically - thus enabling a driverless vehicle testing - and to automatically carry out tests with steering functions.
