Abstract

A sensor calibration area includes a calibration track extending over a longitudinal length and on which an autonomous vehicle can operate; a first side strip extending longitudinally on a first side of the calibration track; a second side strip extending longitudinally on a second side of the calibration track; a first set of calibration boards and a second set of calibration boards positioned on the first side strip and the second side strip, respectively; an autonomous vehicle detector circuit configured to detect presence of the autonomous vehicle and generate a signal indicating the presence of the autonomous vehicle; a sensor to determine a type of the autonomous vehicle; and a calibration board selector circuit configured to activate at least one calibration board of the first set of calibration boards or the second set of calibration boards for calibration of a plurality of perception sensors mounted on the autonomous vehicle.
