Effective navigation testing under real conditions

To ensure reliable navigation, defined routes are tested and live data such as traffic jams or alternative routes are checked. Deviations between calculated and actual arrival times are recorded, while testers document anomalies. An established navigation system serves as a benchmark.

The tests are carried out under different traffic conditions with several test vehicles as well as dedicated drivers and testers to validate the accuracy of the software. Route adjustments are made in consultation with the driver in the event of unforeseen situations. Testers and drivers work closely together to identify errors and optimization potential.

Data-based optimization for more precise route guidance

Each set of test routes provides valuable insights into the quality of the navigation software. Targeted analyses of ETA deviations, congestion information and route guidance reveal potential for improvement. Identified errors are incorporated into the optimization of the software.

The detailed documentation enables data-based decisions for future updates. Continuous testing ensures that the software remains reliable under real-life conditions and that user-friendliness is further improved.

 

We know our way around navigation systems and look forward to exchanging ideas.
