Use case 2: Nordics rural highway coverage testing This theoretical scenario illustrates testing considerations for extensive rural coverage in challenging weather conditions:

Operational considerations: • Weather impact on vehicle range (up to 40% reduction)

Theoretical testing environment: • Location type: Rural highway network • Testing scope: Long-distance coverage verification • Duration: Multi-day testing sequences • Weather conditions: Severe winter environment Typical operating parameters: • Daily coverage: 300-400 km • Vehicle requirements: • Long-range EV (400+ km rated range) • All-weather capability • Extended battery thermal management • Temperature range: -15°C to +5°C • Equipment configuration: • Full scanner and monitoring setup • Redundant power systems • Heated equipment enclosures

• Charging station availability in rural areas • Equipment temperature management

• Data backup requirements • Emergency response plans

Testing implications: • Need for extensive route planning • Importance of weather monitoring • Value of thermal management systems • Requirement for backup power systems Points of attention: • Critical impact of temperature on range • Importance of redundant systems • Value of detailed route planning • Need for comprehensive safety protocols

Network testing priorities: • Highway coverage continuity • Handover performance • Emergency service availability • High-speed mobility testing
