Field test tracks
for autonomous driving
in a real environment
Intro
Test autonomous driving on field test tracks
On the Digitrans field test routes (motorway junction: A1 / A7, as well as Linz Airport and Enns harbour), data can be obtained for the development of the approval processes for autonomous driving. In addition, intelligent infrastructures can be developed and automated transport modes can be tested in real traffic. The closed test area – the test track in St. Valentin – also offers additional options for testing autonomous vehicles and commercial vehicles on asphalt and off-road routes.
Overview of all field test tracks
Field test tracks in Upper Austria
Linz Airport
Ideal for testing slipstream effects on different trucks (Platooning)
Motorway junction A1 / A7
Motorway and inner-city traffic routes for testing everyday traffic scenarios
Digitrans test track St. Valentin
Ideal for testing a wide variety of traffic scenarios in bad weather and road conditions
Ennshafen
Ideal for testing real logistics applications in the port area

Airport Linz
- Use of the 3000m long and 60m wide runway
- Testing possible at night
- Testing of platoons (slipstream driving of truck semitrailers) possible
Enns harbour
- Partial use of the port area conceivable (possibilities will be examined by the Ennshafen on a case-by-case basis)
- Rail transport available
- Access to the water
- Fields of application: Ship, train, truck, large handling equipment (cranes, forklift trucks)
- Ideal for testing real logistics applications
