AVL AND NORCOM: BIG DATA ANALYTICS
PLATFORM FOR ALP.LAB PROVING REGION
As part of a strategic collaboration, AVL List and NorCom Information Technology
teamed up to share their expertise and develop Big Data solutions specifically tailored
to the automotive industry.
By combining their respective strengths, the two leading industry experts
established the ADAS/AD Data & Analytics Platform, which is now being
used for the very first time at the Austrian proving region ALP.Lab. The testing
of automated driving functions requires the analysis of complex environment
data. A state-of-the-art analysis platform must be capable of overcoming

by Kaori Sohar, lecturer at Graz University.
Both the Japanese and the Korean classes are held at the AVL Academy.
The AVL Academy is the hub and center for personal development, technical
training and basic cultural and communication skills for AVL employees
