The AD‑EYE testbed at KTH, supported by WASP, is designed to simplify and accelerate the testing of new developments in Automated Driving (AD) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Its primary focus is systems and functional safety, but the platform also supports a wide range of research and innovation within AD and ITS. Recently, the testbed was featured on Nyhetsdagen, a popular news program on TV4, bringing national attention to the work being done at KTH.
The AD‑EYE project involves several WASP researchers and has received support through the WASP Industry Bridge project. As Professor Martin Törngren from the Division of Mechatronics and Embedded Control Systems at KTH noted in a 2023 article, “The WASP Industry Bridge project has provided timely support for the maturation of this testbed.”
The two TV segments explore the state of autonomous vehicles and ask a central question: How close are we to seeing them become a reality?
In the interviews, Martin Törngren, WASP researcher, offers insights into the team’s work at KTH and discusses key challenges and opportunities in autonomous driving research.
Other WASP contributors to the project include PhD student Naveen Mohan who initiated and has been the main contributor to the AD-EYE initiative together with Martin Törngren, WASP alumnus Lars Svensson (who contributed while as a PhD student at KTH), and PhD student Magnus Gyllenhammar with his work on safety assurance. Many engineering students have further contributed to AD-EYE (https://www.adeye.se/contributors) which has also received support through a number of projects related to connected automated driving (such as the Entice project part of Advanced Digitalization/Vinnova) and the TECoSA center on trustworthy edge-computing (https://www.tecosa.center.kth.se/).
