AB Dynamics and VW Group complete eight-vehicle swarm test

AB Dynamics, a leading automotive test systems supplier, has collaborated with VW, Audi and Porsche to demonstrate what AB Dynamics says is the greatest number of vehicles to be successfully synchronised in a ‘swarm test’. The movements of seven automated vehicles were synchronised with an Ego vehicle (the vehicle under test) in a range of tests at the Nardò Technical Centre, Italy.

Captured in a video prepared by VAG, a total of 152 tests were carried out over 11 days, including high speed runs up to 130kmh and ‘cutting in’ manoeuvres with vehicles as close as one metre. AB Dynamics supplied test equipment and engineers from its UK and German offices, and from its Italian distributor, Leane, who worked in conjunction with personnel from VW, Audi and Porsche.
