Automated off-highway vehicle test platform

We have built an open off-highway vehicle demonstrator. This demonstrator will enable companies to test their newly developed technology and components under real off-highway vehicle and ambient conditions. The open off-highway vehicle demonstrator consists of two parts:

• An open off-highway vehicle (tractor with on-board auto-control equipped with a front loader).
• An interconnected open control platform. This platform allows rapid prototyping control for:
  • Autonomous working operations with various implements.
  • Autonomous driving in off-highway conditions.

In addition, the interconnected open control platform also allows to test innovations in terms of:

• Autonomous operating and driving features.
• Testing of new hardware, components and subsystems in a relevant environment.       

New software routines including AI-practises can be deployed on the various computing units, including specific platforms for autonomous driving and specific platforms for fast control deployment.
