In our laboratories and test sites, we test vehicles during development, for approval, production conformity control and, last but not least, as part of market surveillance.
Whether car manufacturers or suppliers of ADAS/ADS technology can use our teams for testing according to applicable legislation, e.g. EU or UN R, according to NCAP methodologies or our own procedures. In addition, our teams, including testing technologies, are designed to be mobile and travel around Europe for customers.
Testing for our customers in the field of automated driving approval is based on the so-called multi-pillar approach according to the UN
- Scenario catalog
- Test track tests
- Open road tests
- Virtual methods
- Safety management system audit
- In-service monitoring
In the field of virtual methods, we provide a certification program for simulation tools and can assess simulations according to the so-called "Simulation Credibility Framework", which is used in AV/ADS regulations. In the field of control system audits, we have capacities with knowledge of functional safety, on which control systems are heavily dependent. An essential part of AV/ADS approval is cybersecurity, where we have specific testing competencies and an accredited laboratory for Automotive. We are also building competencies thanks to the CERTICAR grant project, which we are solving in cooperation with CIIRC CTU and which is focused on AV/ADS approval for operation.
Examples of legislative regulations and regulations according to which vehicles are approved for operation: EU 2021/1958, EU 2021/1341, EU 2021/646, EU 2023/2590, UN R.79, UN R.130, UN R.131, UN R.151, UN R.152, UN R.155, UN R.156, UN R.157, UN R.159, UN R.171
