Test Vehicles

In order to develop and test algorithms for environment perception for autonomous driving, two measuring vehicles are available at the institute in the form of an Audi A6 and Audi Q3. While the latter is equipped with a flexibly installable sensor roof structure, the former has been permanently converted into a data acquisition platform.

The purpose of the vehicles is primarily to test and evaluate developed algorithms in real driving and traffic scenarios and to collect data for the development of corresponding, sometimes AI-based, algorithms. This gives the research group the opportunity to build up its own data sets based on state-of-the-art sensors. The vehicles are equipped with a 5G modem to transfer some of the data to a cloud backend in real time in addition to local storage.
