The TrackBase Ecosystem:

For decades, track operations were managed manually. Engineers coordinated through radios, mapped out test schedules on whiteboards or spreadsheets, and prepared scenarios by hand. That worked when proving grounds focused mainly on braking distances or lane-change maneuvers. 

Today, that model no longer scales. A modern ADAS validation program may involve multiple vehicles interacting with VRU platforms and DrivingRobots simultaneously. Infrastructure like traffic lights, weather stations, and WiFi networks must be integrated into each run. And every scenario must meet strict NCAP requirements, leaving little room for improvisation. 

Without intelligent coordination, inefficiencies accumulate. Tracks become bottlenecks rather than enablers. Testing slows down not because technology isn’t ready, but because operations can’t keep pace. 

Humanetics developed the TrackBase Suite to change that equation. By uniting people, vehicles, platforms, and infrastructure under one digital layer, The TrackBase Suite transforms traditional test sites into fully connected Digital Proving Grounds. 

The TrackBase Suite is a modular ecosystem designed to bring clarity, precision, and reliability to every stage of proving ground operations. It consists of three integrated components:

• TrackBase Connect® – coordination and visualization of resources and space.
• TrackBase Control™ – precision test execution with scenario libraries and real-time monitoring.
• TrackBase Analyze™ – test result evaluation, proactive robot health monitoring, and predictive maintenance 

Together, these modules form a digital backbone that makes proving grounds more transparent, more efficient, and better aligned with the rising demands of ADAS and automated vehicle testing. 

The first step toward efficiency is visibility. On a busy test day, simply knowing who is using which track section and when can be the difference between seamless execution and costly delays. 

TrackBase Connect® gives proving grounds a real-time view of all activity. Managers can see track usage, platform availability, and vehicle readiness at a glance. Teams can safely share areas without conflict, and schedules can be coordinated with confidence. 

Integration is what sets Connect apart. It doesn’t just show where platforms are; it also incorporates ISO22133-compliant ADAS devices and synchronizes infrastructure such as rain generators, traffic control lights, and weather stations. The result is a proving ground where every asset, physical or digital, is coordinated through one system. 

For proving ground operators, this means higher throughput without sacrificing safety. For automakers, it means confidence that programs run efficiently and on time. 

Even the most advanced proving grounds encounter disruptions. Traditionally, maintenance has been reactive: an issue is only addressed once it interrupts a schedule. 

TrackBase Analyze™ changes this in two ways. First, predictive monitoring helps identify irregularities early, reducing unplanned downtime and extending the lifespan of UFO and VRU platforms. Early customer deployments have shown the potential to cut downtime by around 25%. Machine learning models can even detect drivetrain wear or tire degradation without additional sensors, giving operators the insight to plan smarter maintenance. 

However, TrackBase Analyze™ isn’t just about preventing problems before they occur. Its System Status module provides immediate diagnostics whenever an issue does occur. Subsystem detection eliminates guesswork, pinpointing the source of a fault within seconds. Guided corrective actions, then walk operators through the repair process, allowing maintenance teams to resolve issues quickly and confidently. In practice, this can save hours of downtime for every incident. 

For proving grounds, this dual capability, proactive monitoring, and rapid response mean fewer interruptions, quicker recoveries, and greater confidence in day-to-day reliability. 

If proving grounds remain dependent on manual coordination, the challenges compound quickly. Scheduling conflicts waste valuable track time. Programming scenarios by hand slows test campaigns and makes it difficult to match the precision required by NCAP. Maintenance remains reactive, which means issues are only addressed once they interrupt progress. And as global NCAP protocols evolve, manual systems struggle to keep up. 

These are not abstract risks. Delays at the proving ground translate directly into delayed vehicle launches. In a competitive market, that lost time can erode confidence and slow the adoption of new safety technologies. 

The TrackBase Suite offers a way forward: a connected ecosystem that keeps proving grounds efficient, coordinated, and aligned with the pace of innovation. 

When proving grounds experience downtime, the most visible impact is lost time and higher costs. But the implications run deeper. Predictive maintenance, as delivered through TrackBase Analyze™, safeguards the quality, sustainability, and reliability of proving ground operations. 

Data quality comes first. UFO and VRU platforms are precision systems, and even subtle changes, like tire wear or GNSS drift, can influence the outcome of ADAS tests. Proactive monitoring ensures consistency across repeated scenarios and protects the integrity of results.  

Sustainability is another dimension. Every rerun consumes track time, energy, and vehicle cycles. By catching issues early, predictive diagnostics reduce wasted effort and support more sustainable operations — an increasingly important goal for OEMs and test facilities alike. 

Safety and longevity complete the picture. Proving grounds depend on their platforms day after day. Identifying early signs of wear not only prevents disruptions but also extends the useful life of these critical assets, ensuring reliable performance across extended test campaigns.

By ensuring all systems are ready when needed, TrackBase Analyze™ minimizes unplanned downtime, reduces the cost of delays, and provides operators with confidence that test schedules will stay on track. 

The impact of TrackBase extends far beyond operational logistics. By ensuring every test is consistent, efficient, and aligned with the latest NCAP protocols, TrackBase directly supports the industry’s broader mission: safer vehicles and greater public trust. 

Regulators benefit from data that reflects rigorous, repeatable testing. Automakers gain confidence that their vehicles will meet and exceed certification requirements. And the public sees tangible proof that ADAS and automated systems are being validated to the highest possible standards. 

Proving grounds are being asked to do more than ever before: run larger volumes of ADAS and automated driving scenarios, keep pace with evolving NCAP protocols, and manage limited space and resources with precision. Without new tools, this growing complexity risks slowing down programs and increasing pressure on operators. 

The TrackBase Suite was built to solve exactly this problem. Connect gives operators a real-time view of track activity, helping them plan and coordinate resources with confidence. Control ensures every test is executed to the highest standard, with preconfigured NCAP libraries that save time and guarantee compliance. Analyze keeps platforms available and reliable through predictive monitoring that reduces downtime. 

Together, these three components form one connected ecosystem. That integration is the differentiator: TrackBase doesn’t just optimize one piece of the puzzle; it unites coordination, execution, and analytics across the entire proving ground. 

TrackBase turns rising testing complexity into an opportunity: enabling operators, OEMs, and Tier 1s to deliver more programs, with greater precision, in less time. It is the only suite that transforms the proving ground from an operational challenge into a platform for competitive advantage.
