Transnational Testing, Operation and Certification of Automated Driving Systems: Perspective from testEPS and Central System EUREKA Projects - Mid-Term Results

This conference paper presents the mid-term results of the two EUREKA projects “testEPS” and “Central System”. TestEPS addresses the certification of autonomous driving systems, while Central System focuses on infrastructure solutions for a connected vehicle system. Both integrate the same four technological fields: simulation and virtual testing, realworld testing, HD mapping, and communication, to realize their vision and to achieve their individual goals. The paper presents application use cases for each field as utilized in the respective project. Furthermore, the importance of collaboration between these two projects and respective technologies in advancing the state-of-the-art in autonomous and connected vehicle technologies is highlighted.
