A testing strategy to limit field tests in the development of fully automated driving
This article describes the major challenges pertaining to testing fully automated trains that will be addressed in the Digitale Schiene Deutschland (DSD) sector initiative through the use of different test environments during the development of an ATO GoA 4 system. The approach focuses on reducing the highly complex, expensive and time-consuming field tests in the railway sector. DSD will use these test environments for system testing in its AutomatedTrain Project [1].
