Path Following
Enhancing driving robot capabilities with precision and accuracy.
Enhancing driving robot capabilities with precision and accuracy.
AB Dynamics’ Path Following module (an optional feature for robot users) is a major enhancement to the capabilities of our driving robots and ADAS platforms. Utilising the GNSS inertial navigation systems in our robot-driven vehicles and ADAS platforms, it guides them along a pre-defined path with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. With over 20 years of experience, the latest Path Following algorithm has been used for high-performance testing, including steady-state cornering, double lane-changes, complete laps of the Silverstone race circuit, and a high speed, high precision crash test for NASCAR.
AB Dynamics’ Path Following software uses feedback from GNSS inertial navigation systems to make real-time corrections to the vehicle or ADAS platform’s steering, precisely guiding it along a desired path, even at high speeds and high levels of lateral acceleration.

The core application at the heart of all our track test solutions.
Robot Controller (RC) Software is the core application in AB Dynamics’ Track Applications Suite which manages the planning, execution, and review of track tests across our entire range of driving robots and ADAS test objects. With this suite, users can perform a wide range of customisable and pre-defined tests, from simple sine-dwell manoeuvres to complex ADAS scenarios. The software’s flexibility makes it suitable for a variety of track testing needs and it’s an integral part of our product ecosystem. Latest features of RC include a library of Euro NCAP preconfigured test scenarios, with support for over 150 of the latest test cases.
Explore the dynamic capabilities of the Track Applications Suite. Each app and tool is meticulously designed to enhance precision, streamline workflows, and deliver unparalleled control in your testing environment.

Coordination and synchronisation of multiple test objects for unrivalled testing efficiency.
Synchro is our patented communication language used to control and coordinate the timing of test object movements. It uses our dependable wireless telemetry system, TrackFi PowerMesh, together with our advanced Robot Controller Software to guarantee perfect synchronisation of multiple objects, even along complex paths and at varying speeds.
Synchro captures real-time vehicle-to-object data between a test vehicle and other objects. This enables any combination of systems (robot-controlled vehicles, ADAS platforms and driverless vehicles) to be coordinated and synchronised to the test vehicle. Available in Lite or Full variants, it enables every run to be conducted repeatably and accurately – making track testing much more efficient.
Synchro offers a common interface for all track test systems, enabling the synchronisation of up to 16 objects, integration and cross-compatibility with major GNSS/IMU suppliers, and multi-directional control for complex traffic scenarios, all contributing to efficient and accurate track testing.

Enhanced safety, monitoring, and control of proving ground test traffic.
Ground Traffic Control (GTC) manages complex testing scenarios by providing centralised monitoring, control, and coordination of test track traffic, including VRU platforms, GSTs, driverless vehicles human-driven vehicles.
Its versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of track testing applications, such as durability and misuse testing and multi-vehicle highway scenario testing. To ensure safety in mixed traffic scenarios, the system is equipped with collision detection and prevention, which slows robot-controlled vehicles and alerts human drivers. GTC enhances productivity and cooperation by having a customisable interface, multi-screen support, and role-based access.
GTC is a revolutionary system for managing driverless misuse and durability applications and complex multi-vehicle testing scenarios.
