Ground Traffic Control (GTC) is a centralised platform that provides a powerful and scalable solution for accurate monitoring and coordination of proving ground traffic, including robot-controlled vehicles and ADAS target platforms. GTC automates key aspects of test traffic management, reducing the need for manual intervention and enabling operators to handle more traffic. By actively monitoring all vehicles and platforms, GTC reduces the risk of collisions and damage in complex, high-traffic test environments.
GTC is built within AB Dynamics’ Track Applications Suite, our comprehensive track testing software ecosystem that includes all of our industry-leading applications. Its scalable architecture supports future growth, and it offers tailored solutions with GTC Core for small-scale operations and GTC Pro for more advanced scenarios.

Tailored for your test requirements

GTC is available in two versions tailored to your testing programme needs:

· GTC Core is a software-only solution for managing up to six test objects, and ideal for small scale ADAS testing, such as Euro NCAP tests.
· GTC Pro is a server-based solution with enhanced capabilities for managing up to 20 concurrent driverless systems, offering real-time collision detection and advanced monitoring, perfect for large-scale testing environments, such as driverless durability and misuse testing.
