ZalaZone features a highway, high-speed oval track, Smart City Zone along with a 1.2-mile handling course for testing stability, steering and lane-keeping assist functions.

The test facility selected AB Dynamics’ SR60 Orbit steering robots and combined brake and accelerator robot (CBAR), so vehicles can be controlled to drive accurately and repeatedly to create desired scenarios.

ADAS targets included AB Dynamics’ Guided Soft Target (GST) for representing real vehicles along with Soft Pedestrian Target (SPT) and LaunchPad platforms for representing Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) in test scenarios. The Flex-0 drive-by-wire control system was selected as a solution for populating regular cars as other ‘background’ traffic with minimal risk of collision.
