Prototyping Automotive Smart Ecosystems

The breakthrough of smart ecosystems formed by open adaptive systems requires new testing methods. The need for safety and security on the roads is pushed ahead by new developments in the area of autonomous driving. Frameworks that support testing of control functions are therefore needed. We present a prototype platform for automotive smart ecosystem that enables testing of smart ecosystems with a special focus on visualization and integration with real world. An abstract and a detailed description of the platform components, together with argumentation of the chosen components and interface description is presented as well. The platform provides a meaningful visualization of scenarios that verify and validate behavior interaction between component of the real and virtual world.
