Systems, methods and computer program products for determining routes for test drives of autonomous and/or partially autonomous vehicles

A computational device for determining routes for test drives of autonomous vehicles, wherein test features are to be encountered and avoided on the routes, designed and set up to carry out a method, comprising:

• an input device configured for:
• determining a geographical area in which a test drive is to take place;
• determining a starting point from which the test drives are to start;
• determining a destination point, at which the test drive is to end;
• determining test features T1, . . . , Tn, which are relevant for the test drive and
• creating a logical expression which sets the test features T1, . . . , Tn into a logical relationship to one another,
• a database device for accessing a database which includes a map material for the area and positions and areas where in which the test features T1, . . . , Tn are located and
• a display device for displaying representations of the determined routes for a user to select a selected route.

A computer program product for determining routes for test drives of at least partially autonomous vehicles, wherein a plurality of test features are to be encountered or avoided on the routes, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer having a processing device and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processing device, wherein the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions that, when executed by the computer program product, cause the processing device to:
• determine a geographical area in which a test drive is to take place;
• determine a starting point from which the test drive should start;
• determine a destination point at which the test drive should end;
• determine the plurality of test features T1, . . . , Tn, which are relevant for the test drive;
• create a logical expression which places the plurality of test features T1, . . . , Tn in a logical relationship to one another;
• determine at least one route which are located within the geographical area, which have the starting point and the destination point and which satisfy the logical expression that includes a map material for the area and positions or areas where the plurality of test features T1, . . . , Tn are located;
• and
• display a representation of the determined routes for a user for the purpose of selecting a selected route.
