Abstract

The disclosure relates to a carrier for automotive safety testing wherein the movement of the carrier is controlled by an external guidance system, so that the carrier follows a determined route during the automotive safety testing. The actual position of the carrier is typically determined by a GPS system, while the desired position and velocity of the carrier are provided by a wireless transmitter, typically a W-LAN router receiving data from a PC or similar external source.
