Creating a digital-vehicle proving ground

This installment presents the state of the art of ITS research in China, particularly the facilities and the proving ground for testing automated vehicles. To combine their strengths, in 2002 the ITSC, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Arizona agreed to conduct joint research on a digital automobile proving ground (DAPG) for automated-vehicle driving tests based on their Beijing and Tucson facilities. The paper describes this international collaboration's status and progress.
