For Testing Autonomous Driving Techs
Hyundai Mobis announced that completed the Seosan Driving Test Center on land of 1.12 million ㎡ in Seosan Bio Wellbeing Special Zone.
The driving test center features 14 driving test roads and 4 test labs including its main hall. Ground was broken on the construction of the center in the first half of 2014 and the center was completed at the end of last year. The center was put into operation in June after reinforcement work and tests at the beginning of this year.
The center boasts of 14 test roads on land of about one million square meters which include roads with special surfaces such as a high-speed road and a radar test road, a test tunnel, and a round low-friction road as well as cutting-edge special roads.
Advanced and radar test roads are to test the development of autonomous driving technology. The high-tech roads will evaluate core technologies of autonomous vehicles by creating a real road and traffic environment such as a fake city, a soundproof tunnel, forest roads, bus platforms, guard rails, and other road conditions encountered by drivers during their normal drives.
Hyundai Mobis is also developing an autonomous navigation system based on V2X (vehicle and object communication) that links with communication by establishing an intelligent transportation system (ITS) environment. The radar test road puts sensors such as cameras and radars into test as they are key technologies for a self-drive.
Its test tunnel is 30m wide and 250m long as the world’s longest test tunnel. The tunnel will be used in intelligent headlamp tests, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistant System) camera recognition and control performance and lamp regulation test of overseas countries..
