Manual testing of automated vehicles, such as ANTON, on proving grounds needs remarkable costs and triggers substantial safety risks. To tackle such challenges, the study commenced by conducting a comprehensive analysis of different co-simulation platforms. Consequently, Autoware.AI-Carla has been identified as the leading co-simulator, while CarMaker was distinguished for its exceptional vehicle dynamics simulation capabilities. The extensive evaluation of the Aslan-Carmaker project identified complexities and challenges encountered during the reconstruction, which provided a solid foundation for the Autoware.AI-Carmaker project. With this detailed understanding, The primary objective of this research was to create a reliable ROS bridge between Autoware.ai and IPG CarMaker, enabling efficient interaction. Even in its early stages of development, the bridge has shown its potential by successfully controlling the Car in the CarMaker simulation through Autoware's 'control' tab. After rigorous research, this thesis has successfully achieved all its objectives, providing an authoritative resource for future research endeavours. This research not only demonstrates the potential of virtual testing in automated driving but also establishes a connection between testing platforms for seamless communication, paving the way for future advancements in the field.}, language = {en} }
