Abstract: With the continuous development of digital twin (DT) technology at this stage, research and applications surrounding DTs have gradually become a hot spot. The application of DT technology in the field of autonomous driving tests is being studied. In this paper, we intend to build a highly open DT autonomous driving test platform, combining it with functional units such as simulation test tools, communication equipment, real test vehicles, etc., to form a rich test verification environment. This model supports various types of autonomous driving solutions and algorithm verification tests and has the ability to carry out real vehicle testing and verification in complex virtual scenes under the condition of limited resources. Finally, this article provides a brand-new test method for autonomous driving vehicles.
