AB  - Small-scale testbeds are used in research and development to provide a controlled setting for testing new concepts. They are affordable and can be duplicated, making them useful for both education and research purposes. To address the limitations of small-scale testbeds, particularly their accessibility, we introduce CPM Remote, a web-based platform that provides real-time access to the Cyber-Physical Mobility (CPM) Lab, a scaled testbed at RWTH Aachen University. This innovative approach eliminates the need for users to travel, purchase, or reconstruct physical testbeds. CPM Remote incorporates a built-in editor, a simulation environment, and a real-time interface to the CPM Lab, extending accessibility to a global audience. Users have the flexibility to conduct their own experiments or choose from two ready-to-use applications, enabling them to actively engage with the field of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). The educational application, CPM Academy, offers students an immersive learning experience by presenting a package delivery service scenario to develop algorithms within the context of CAVs. For research purposes, we introduce CPM Olympics, an annual competition that offers participants real-world scenarios to benchmark their motion planning algorithms. In our evaluation of the platform and its applications, we carried out multiple user studies and a technology acceptance analysis to pinpoint potential areas for enhancement. The feedback from each study was considered during the development of CPM Remote to enhance its feature set and usability. Based on the successfully conducted iterations of the CPM Academy and CPM Olympics, we demonstrate how CPM Remote bridges the gap between simulations and costly real-world tests, democratizing access to experimental research infrastructure.
