Astazero: Revolutionary test track for safe, networked vehicles opened

AstaZero, Schweden - in Sweden is doing great: the Astazero research institution, operated by the Research Institute of Sweden (Rise), has opened an advanced test area for networked and automated vehicles. This test track offers the possibility of thoroughly evaluating the safety and efficiency of modern transport systems. According to telematics wire not only acts as a test center for autonomous vehicles, but also combines Technologies such as AI-controlled drones and networked emergency vehicles.

This new test infrastructure is equipped with state-of-the-art 5G networks and an advanced computer infrastructure. Seamless real -time communication between vehicles, emergency services, which enables infrastructure and pedestrians. Against the background of the global exit from the 3G networks, this is a crucial step. By using Edge Computing, vehicles can process data on site, which drastically shortens the response times.

The ability of autonomous vehicles to react to unexpected situations such as crossing pedestrians is an essential part of the safety requirements in modern mobility.

on the test system

Astazero is the first test facility that has achieved reliability of 99.999% for networked vehicle communication systems, such as Auto Tech News reported. This high reliability is an important progress, since new vehicles are equipped with sensors that not only provide the drivers valuable information about traffic conditions, but should also significantly reduce the risk of accidents.

The facility is operated by advanced AI systems that carry out a variety of tests in complex traffic scenarios. Communication between vehicles, pedestrians and the entire infrastructure is optimized. For example, complex simulations are carried out in which AI-controlled drones are able to balancing and delivering real-time updates for emergency teams via accident sites.

The future of driving

The goal is clear: Astazero wants to help accelerate the development of sustainable and safe automated transport solutions. The facility supports manufacturers and technological designers from different areas in evaluating their systems in a neutral environment. At the same time, it contributes to the creation of global standards for communication between vehicles and everything (V2X).

With the next generation of smart vehicles, the prospect of preventing accidents and reducing traffic jams shows the development at Astazero into a networked future. Under the motto "Communication for more security", a decisive contribution to reducing the number of accidents in Europe is made, which increase in particular in commercial vehicles as well as for pedestrians and cyclists. Innovative test methods should help to significantly increase the safety and reliability of the vehicles and to further develop the mobility concept.
