Proving Ground Management
for Automotive Test Sites
Safety and efficiency are indispensable for a successful operation on test sites. The Proving Ground Management System (PGMS) of mm-lab supports operators to achieve their goals to the benefit of their customers. The unique collision awareness system CAVE!, Voice-over-IP based communication and a wide set of operating functions form the basis of this comprehensive solution. The modular expandability of PGMS results in a high flexibility for operators. Easily mountable On-Board Units (OBU) accelerate the installation process and connect test vehicles to the PGMS operation center.
PGMS is adaptable to existing environments and can be completely integrated with the available infrastructure like barrier control, signaling equipment and IT systems for operation and administration.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Mapping of all relevant processes from booking to billing in one single system
- Complete recording of all usage data
- High process reliability even in critical situations
- Automatic detection of safety-critical incidents
- Significant safety gains thanks to the unique collision awareness system CAVE!
- High positional accuracy
- High flexibility through modular structure and many configuration options
Collision Awareness System CAVE! Improves safety at the Proving Ground
How dangerous it can be to drive on proving grounds of the automotive industry is shown again and again by serious accidents on test tracks. But these could often be prevented. Our collision awareness system CAVE! significantly improves safety on proving grounds and helps to avoid collisions.
With help of high-precision telematics, the system warns test drivers early on about a threatening collision via an on-board unit. It minimizes the risk of drivers being distracted or tired and gives a clear picture of the current situation even in poor visibility. Using its own position and that of other vehicles on the test track, the system calculates the respective distance from one another and provides an accurate picture of the vehicle movements.
CAVE! received recognition from the state of Baden-Württemberg for exemplary performance as part of the award of the innovation prize.

DURAsmart Durability Test Support
Durability testing with vehicles on proving grounds and on public roads is still an indispensable part of testing a vehicle.
DURAsmart is a telematics product from mm-lab in which the experiences from proving ground management and special fleet management are combined. mm-lab has developed DURAsmart to support vehicle durability tests on public roads and proving grounds.
The system improves the effectiveness of durability testing by using of end-to-end telematics that support the entire process from test specification and design to execution and documentation. In addition, data can be collected automatically, e.g. distances traveled or counting repetition sequences until the driver is signaled that he has reached the desired target.
