Significant Progress in Automated ADAS Test Execution Framework Development by DriveByCloud

in ,

The BME Department of Automotive Technologies–affiliated spin-off company DriveByCloud has achieved significant progress in the development of an automated ADAS test execution framework. During a test campaign conducted at the ZalaZONE Proving Ground, the development team successfully continued the system integration activities supporting the realization of automated, repeatable, and efficient vehicle testing processes.

Between 28–30 July 2026, DriveByCloud experts conducted a test campaign at the ZalaZONE Proving Ground with the aim of further developing and integrating the automated ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) test execution framework.

The goal of the development is to create a comprehensive system capable of the automated preparation, execution, evaluation, and documentation of ADAS testing processes. During the campaign, two mobile sensor stations equipped with multimodal sensor systems were deployed in the ZalaZONE Smart City module. These stations enabled the system to accurately detect and record the movements of both the test vehicle and the moving platform equipped with a pedestrian dummy involved in the test scenarios.

One of the key capabilities of the developed framework is its ability to import predefined test scenarios and automatically generate scenario variants by modifying different parameters, such as vehicle speed or event timing. The test scenarios to be executed can then be organized into an execution list with predefined numbers of repetitions.

Following test execution, the system automatically evaluates the movement of the vehicle and target objects, as well as the distances between them, based on raw sensor data and user-defined evaluation criteria. Individual test reports are generated based on the evaluated data, providing detailed documentation of each test run. The system then automatically returns the test assets to their initial positions and starts the execution of the next scenario. Summary reports for each scenario type enable efficient statistical analysis of the measured results.

“During the test campaign, we achieved significant progress in system integration. The experience gained greatly supports our further development activities and provides valuable feedback on the practical applicability of automated ADAS test execution processes,” said Zsolt Vincze, scientific assistant at the Autonomous Vehicles Research Group operating within BME Automated Drive and Managing Director of DriveByCloud Ltd.

The test campaign was conducted by DriveByCloud within the framework of a project supported by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH). The work was supported by the expertise and professional collaboration of specialists from the ZalaZONE Proving Ground, the Department of Control for Transportation and Vehicle Systems at BME, and HUN-REN SZTAKI.

This development represents another important step toward automated vehicle testing processes, contributing to the faster, more reliable, and more objective validation of advanced driver assistance systems.
