One reason is the lack of market transparency and stakeholder's trust in the systems' performance as a consequence of poor use of Test and Evaluation (T&E) methods and transferability of the obtained T&E results. The T&E 4Log (Test and Evaluation for Logistics) Framework was developed to examine how the transferability of T&E results to practical scenarios in warehouse environments can be increased. Conventional T&E approaches are integrated and extended under consideration of the warehouse environment, logistics applications, and domain-specific requirements, into an application-driven T&E framework. The application of the proposed framework in standard and application-dependent test cases leads to a set of performance criteria and corresponding application-specific requirements. This enables a well-founded identification of suitable LTSs for given warehouse applications. The T&E 4Log Framework was implemented at the Institute for Technical Logistics (ITL) and validated by T&E of a reflector-based Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) LTS, a contour-based LiDAR LTS, and an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) LTS for the exemplary applications Automated Pallet Booking, Goods Tracking, and Autonomous Forklift Navigation.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Indoor LocalizationTest and EvaluationWarehouse applicationWirtschaftHandel, Kommunikation, VerkehrTechnikIngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paper10.15480/882.405810.15480/882.40582107.10597Conference Paper
