The Digitrans Test Center for Automated Driving, with its innovative expansions on the proving ground in St. Valentin, has managed to be shortlisted for the award “proving Ground of the Year 2022”, alongside numerous other exciting test sites and test tracks from around the world.
On November 16, 2022, the specially developed outdoor rain plant for rain tests of automated vehicles and their sensors was put into operation. The system makes it possible to generate realistic rain at the push of a button, thus significantly simplifying the testing of sensors for environment detection in rain.
As part of the transnational cooperative research project testEPS, funded by the BMK, JOANNEUM RESERACH created a three dimensional digital twin of the test track in St.Valentin as a reference for testing and verifying automated driving functions.
On August 9, application-based practical tests with driver assistance systems were carried out at the Digitrans Test Center in St. Valentin on behalf of AustriaTech in cooperation with Graz University of Technology and Factum as part of the research project “Road Safety and Automated Mobility M7174”.
Digitrans is an official member of IAMTS and is pleased to support the development of standardized and certified test methods for automated driving.
On the way to automated freight transport – Insights on the AWARD H2020 project. Digitrans project manager Hannes Watzinger provides insights into the three most important challenges during deployment.
The two companies conducted comprehensive tests on the subject of automated driving on the proving ground in St. Valentin. Both companies carefully examined the visibility of markings in varying conditions when using automated detection systems.
Be mobile in an uncomplicated and sustainable way without your own car: That is the goal of tim, the multimodal mobility service in Linz. The Digitrans team, led by managing director Eva Tatschl-Unterberger, is very happy to use the tim service.

Insights on the EU project AWARD (All Weather Autonomous Real logistics operations and Demonstrations) by Digitrans project manager Hannes Watzinger. Insights into an exciting and challenging project year in the field of automated freight transport.
On the Digitrans proving ground for autonomous driving in St. Valentin, the Chair “Sustainable Transport Logistics 4.0” of the Johannes Kepler University Linz and SWARCO Road Marking Systems were able to carry out the first successful tests for the recognition of road markings.
The first edition of the “Autonomous Mobility Ecosystem Landscape Austria” was published at the end of January 2022. With the new update, the landscape provides an overview of all active companies, research and educational institutions as well as current projects and use cases in the field of autonomous driving in Austria.
The Austrian test environment Digitrans enables testing of automated driving functions under various infrastructural conditions. In this way, Digitrans is making a significant contribution to further advancing our goal, namely the establishment of an integrated and automated mobility system.
Digitrans helped us understand truck platooning as a future-proof and sustainable solution in good time. With a lot of commitment, a calculation model was created for the first time with the “Aeroptimizer”, which shows us the effectiveness of platooning for special vehicles.
