Abstract
The key for testing the driving assistance and autonomous vehicle systems is to establish an advanced infrastructure. For special manoeuvres, a special track is necessary. The path of the track is always changing as the investigated function changes. This means a lot of track construction work for the operation of the proving ground. The engineers of the ZalaZone proving ground perform continuous track construction tasks for the various dynamic tests, which is a time-consuming, resource-intensive task. The goal is to develop an environment that can manage a semi-automatic test track building in a sustainable way. The placing of traffic cones can also be carried out by autonomous robots designed for this purpose, according to pre-designed plans, which are under development at the University of Gyor. Automating this task can save a lot of energy, live work, and fuel also can optimize the load and the route of the robots. This paper discusses the theoretical design and possible physical architecture of a framework for the coordination of the tools used. It presents a possible software environment for managing and publishing data in a form that can be integrated with map data represented in different map projection systems. This requires the development of an HTTP-ROS2 interface that can transfer position and other descriptive data of participants communicating on the ROS2 network to the web server that provides the base maps. This work presents a map interface for the near real-time display of positional data from robotic tests carried out in the ZalaZone area. As a result, the map allows the movement of registered objects to be tracked and displayed on the web map via the internet on a publicly accessible server running on the university network. The server is currently capable of mapping the data recorded on the ROS2 network, but only on the local network. It implements the display of pre-saved data from the ROS2 network via the Internet. The long-term goal is to develop a web-accessible mapping framework that allows the current position of the cone-positioning robots to be displayed and controlled through this interface.
