Supporting your toolchain

AstaZero supports its customers along the full verification and validation process. Maximized use of simulations for verifying system functionality requires traceable virtual environments so that a test result achieved using simulations captures behaviour achieved in testing on the proving ground.

Mission Critical Communication – reliability during emergencies, and other high-stake situations

Mission-critical communication systems ensure that emergency staff and other key stakeholders can communicate reliably, instantaneously and securely when responding to critical situations. AstaZero provides support throughout the phases from product development to certification and tests of integrated solutions in AstaZero 4G/5G test environments. AstaZero is ISO 17025 accredited and a GCF Recognized Test Organization (RTO).

5G networks for efficient testing

We use cutting-edge technologies such as multiple 5G networks, fast internet connections, and advanced test control to enable faster, more accurate testing with smooth data transfers and high productivity on the proving ground. AstaZero supports testing of Hardware In The Loop/Vehicle In the Loop (HIL/VIL) and augmented reality for both humans and machines. Moreover, testing is not restricted to asphalt and targets. By combining the 5G networks with our test control, we can also assess the robustness of vehicles in degraded connectivity, data loss, border crossings, and cyber security.

Our Test Tracks

Dry Zone

Dry Zone is the world’s longest indoor track for testing active safety systems and autonomous technologies for all types of vehicles. In Dry Zone advanced research can be conducted in automated driving.
Dry Zone

High Speed Area

Different active safety and automated driving tests can be carried out, including manoeuvres at very high speeds, due to AstaZero’s comprehensive knowledge of measurement and positioning technology.
High Speed Area

Multilane Road

Several scenarios can be tested on the Multilane Road, such as lane changes, collision scenarios and crossing scenarios.
Multilane Road

Rural Road

A closed loop of nearly 6 km, the realistic-looking Rural Road is ideal for testing Human Factors topics such as distraction, human-machine interface, and drowsiness. Various scenarios can be set up to create different test cases.
