Logging Design for Vehicle Communication Field Operational Tests

Large vehicle communication field operational tests with many cars and a lot of new functions under test produce vast amounts of log data. Since the logging runs on the system under test, the requirements are to make minimal use of CPU and RAM to not affect the test environment, be most flexible in configuration issues, and to be fail safe and secure. This paper covers the upcoming logging problems in big field operational tests and presents a solution on how to meet them on basis of the logging that has been implemented for the sim TD field operational test.
