MGA's role in the facility focused on major equipment items, integration, and staff training. The new "Safety Advancement Lab" was built next to the existing Nissan Technical Center North America in Michigan. Every aspect of the facility was curated with global regulations for standardized test modes in mind, including the Euro NCAP MPDB Cart-to-Car.

Together with automated logistics provider Fernride and test tool manufacturer BTC Embedded Systems, they aim to have autonomously driving trucks on the highway for the first time by the middle of this decade in the ATLAS-L4 project. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Technical University of Braunschweig are providing scientific support for the project, while TÜV SÜD and Autobahn GmbH are contributing their expertise with regard to practical feasibility and the approval process.

There are times in traffic situations when cyclists are difficult to detect even for the most advanced vehicle sensors - for example, when they are obscured for a few seconds by a stopping bus. In the project Reallabor Hamburg Fraunhofer FOKUS used its Eclipse MOSAIC simulation framework to demonstrate that uninterrupted object detection can be achieved by fusing LIDAR data from multiple automated cars, thus providing even better protection for particularly vulnerable road users in the future.

The durability transfer process is based on high precision accelerometers from ASC and is used by MAN Truck & Bus SE among others. The monitoring specialist, monalysis, a partner of ASC, has therefore developed a method that allows these tests to be carried out far more cost-effectively than before.

Researchers at TU Graz have modelled an AI system for automotive radar sensors that filters out interfering signals caused by other radar sensors and dramatically improves object detection. Now the system is to be made more robust to weather and environmental influences as well as new types of interference.

A team of researchers from the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute's (VTTI) Division of Data and Analytics has developed an open-access interactive tool that seeks to enhance the capabilities of government, industry, and academic research in establishing automated driving systems (ADS. The Operational Design Domain (ODD) Element Quantification Tool, funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), utilizes the institute's cyber-physical systems framework that enables researchers and industry practitioners to understand and quantify automated driving operation conditions in a city, community, or region across and between 30 major U.S. cities.
