Boros runs data-collection campaigns and test-fleet operations with sensor-equipped production vehicles — drivers, safety operators, fleet, permits and delivery — so your ADAS or automated-driving team gets validated road data without building a field operation.
We are not a general consultancy. Everything below exists to get clean, legal, well-documented driving data into your hands — and to keep a test fleet running while it happens.
Trained drivers and operators run scenario-based routes with your sensor setup in current series vehicles, day and night, in the conditions your validation plan calls for.
We keep your test fleet on the road: insurance, sensor-rig maintenance, calibration checks and full cost visibility for every vehicle — additional vehicles sourced on request.
Collecting and exporting camera data across borders needs authorisations. We have obtained them in multiple countries and handle the process for you.
For automated-driving test programmes we run the whole field operation: trained safety operators in shifts, fleet and depot, daily calibration checks and the incident and disengagement reporting your permit requires.
You send the scenarios, sensor set, volume and timeline. We come back with a route plan and a quote — within five working days once the open questions are answered.
Vehicles, rigs, permits and driver team are prepared. Calibration is signed off before day one.
Daily runs with live progress tracking. Coverage gaps are flagged and re-driven, not discovered later.
Logs are checked, labelled by scenario and handed over on your schedule — with the paperwork to match.
Every programme is built on your scenario list, sensor set and timeline — the five below are simply the shapes we drive most often. Send us yours and you have a quote within five working days once the open questions are answered.
Six to twelve weeks from January to March: snow, ice, altitude and open interstate, with manufacturer plates in place before day one. The same team runs campaigns US-wide and into Canada in any season — the Cheyenne base is there when you need it, not a condition.
Ten to twenty countries — start and finish wherever your programme needs it; permits, cross-border data export and EU-licensed drivers included, workshop and fleet in Olhão on request.
Megacity traffic, unpaved roads, tropical rain, motorcycles and pedestrian behaviour that European and US datasets don't contain.
You send the scenario list from your ODD matrix; we deliver the coverage report and re-drive every gap until it is closed.
For scenarios that public roads cannot offer — or cannot offer repeatably — we book closed sessions at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve near Portimão, about an hour from the Olhão base: a 4.7 km Grand-Prix circuit with 32 layouts, a kart track with wet zones and an off-road park with water crossings. Same drivers, same rigs, same daily QA — booked per programme, no ownership overhead.
Most programmes don't fit a template, and they don't have to. Send us the scenarios, sensor set, volume, regions and timeline, and we build the campaign around them.
Send your scenariosProgrammes with recurring needs run under a framework agreement: a yearly quota of driver-days, callable in any region with two weeks' notice. New to Boros? A two-week pilot with a sample campaign report is the usual first step.
Sensor-equipped production vehicles on the routes and in the conditions a validation plan actually calls for — city traffic, cobbles, ice, dusk.
More than ninety licensed test drivers and safety operators work for Boros today — every one of them with five or more years in ADAS programmes, and ready to start within days rather than months, wherever your programme runs. Behind them stand the project managers, technicians and mechanics who keep a campaign on schedule. Wherever a programme runs, it follows one operating standard: permits in place before the first kilometre, GDPR-compliant handling from the vehicle to the delivered log, and the same faces from kick-off to hand-over.
Vehicle build-up, sensor-rig installation and maintenance of the measurement fleet in Portugal and in Wyoming — so a campaign vehicle is prepared and serviced where it operates, not shipped back to the OEM.
When measurement equipment fails in the field, our technicians fly to the vehicle and repair it on site. A broken rig costs a day, not a return trip across a continent — and the campaign schedule holds.

The same driver training, QA process and documentation in Europe, North America and South America — so a campaign started in one region can be extended to another without onboarding a new supplier. Next up: a base in Serbia, opening 2027 — pilot partner wanted.
Come in — let’s talk about your campaign→
Headquartered in Olhão, Algarve. Year-round mild weather, coastal, mountain and motorway routes within a day's drive — and campaigns throughout the EU, the EEA and the EFTA countries (Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein).
Headquartered in downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming — high altitude, real winter, open interstate within minutes and Denver within two hours. Local team running campaigns across the US for OEMs and tier-1s validating on North American roads.
Our proving ground for the southern hemisphere: tropical heat and rain, dense megacity traffic, unpaved roads and driving behaviour that European and US datasets simply don't contain.
Our next base, currently in preparation near Kragujevac — in the industrial heart of central Serbia, on the A1/E-75 corridor and within reach of the whole Western Balkans. Seven borders in day-trip range — one base covers campaigns into Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Croatia, with EU-adjacent testing at local cost levels.
Since 2010 we have run collection and testing campaigns for vehicle manufacturers and their engineering suppliers in Europe and the USA. We don’t publish client names: every project runs under NDA and GDPR-compliant data handling, and we treat your programme the same way. References are available on request.

Questions we hear before a first campaign
Within five working days once the open questions on scenarios, sensor set, volume and timeline are answered — as a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Yours — a programme tests your sensor set on your vehicle. Boros imports, insures, maintains and calibrates them at its own workshops in Portugal and Wyoming, and operates customer prototypes with manufacturer plates where required. Additional vehicles can be sourced by Boros on request, by agreement.
The EU, the EEA and the EFTA countries, the whole USA and cross-border into Canada, and Brazil with local drivers — all under one operating standard and one contract, starting and finishing wherever your programme needs it. The bases in Olhão and Cheyenne add workshops, fleet and permits when you want them. Serbia follows in 2027.
Every campaign runs under NDA and GDPR-compliant data handling. Boros is ISO 9001 certified; the ISO 27001 certification audit is scheduled for Q1 2027, in parallel with the ISO 9001 audit.
More than ninety licensed test drivers and safety operators with at least five years in ADAS programmes, several of them holding current proving-ground licences, supported by project managers, technicians and mechanics.
Our flying doctors — the technicians who built the rig — travel to the vehicle and repair it on site, so a failure costs a day, not a return trip.
Yes. For target scenarios, repeatable manoeuvres and wet sections we book closed sessions at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve near Portimão, about an hour from the Olhão base — a 4.7 km circuit with 32 layouts, a kart track with wet zones and an off-road park. Track days are quoted with the campaign; the same drivers, rigs and daily QA apply. The circuit also has access-controlled workshops and halls, so prototypes stay under cover between sessions.
