High Speed Area

In the High Speed Area, a number of different avoidance tests can be carried out, including manoeuvres at very high-speeds. The tests are possible due to AstaZero’s comprehensive knowledge of measurement and positioning technology.

The design

The High Speed Area is connected to the Multilane road and consists of a circle, 240 metres in diameter with “drop add-ons”. It slopes 1 percent laterally and is completely flat in the longitudinal direction, (flatness 1.0 acc. to IRI).

The High Speed Area has two acceleration roads. Acceleration road one is approximately 1 kilometre long. In addition to the two acceleration roads, it is also possible to use the multilane road for acceleration, which means vehicles can enter the High Speed Area from three different directions.

About the track

Turning loop for long vehicles (25,25 m) at the end and halfway with a width of 7 metres

Rigid fences around the whole area

Calibration area at the first turning loop (for gyros)

Conduit along the acceleration roads. (for future needs)

Remote control of targets, balloon cars and driving robots

High Speed Area is located with basic illumuniation and has asphalt acceleration of SN75-80. The tests can be followed in a separate control tower, two floors high for good visibility, next to the track. Up to 100 spectators can also follow the test from a prepared area. There is parking space with outlets to charge electric vehicles and batteries aswell as space for ten cars plus one bus. The warehouse includes equipment, traffic signs and cones.
