| contents | Automated driving technologies promise substantial improvements in transportation safety, efficiency, and accessibility. However, ensuring the reliability and safety of Autonomous Vehicles in complex, real-world environments remains a significant challenge, particularly during the early stages of software development. Existing software development environments and simulation platforms often either focus narrowly on specific functions or are too complex, hindering the rapid prototyping of small proofs of concept. To address this challenge, we have developed the APIKS automotive platform, a modular framework based on ROS2. APIKS is designed for the efficient testing and validation of autonomous vehicle software within software-defined vehicles. It offers a simplified, standards-based architecture designed specifically for small-scale proofs of concept. This enables rapid prototyping without the overhead associated with comprehensive platforms. We demonstrate the capabilities of APIKS through an exemplary use case involving a Construction Zone Assist system, illustrating its effectiveness in facilitating the development and testing of autonomous vehicle functionalities. |
