Road Vehicles – Test Object Monitoring and Control for Active Safety and Automated/Autonomous Vehicle Testing – Part 1: Functional Requirements, Specifications, and Communication Protocol

Description
ISO 22133 consists of the following parts, under the general title “Road Vehicles – Test Object Monitoring and Control for Active Safety and Automated/Autonomous Vehicle Testing”:
Part 1: Functional Requirements, Specifications, and Communication Protocol
Part 2: Test Scenario Description Formats

The testing of collision avoidance systems, active safety functions, and more advanced autonomous functions in vehicles requires testing on proving grounds. The purpose is to expose the vehicle under test to potentially dangerous traffic situations in a safe manner. The evaluation is done during development, and in voluntary and mandatory test procedures.
To orchestrate these traffic scenarios, various impactable targets representing traffic actors have to be controlled. The number of controlled targets may be one or many depending on the required traffic scenario. Multiple requirements are important, such as safety, position and speed precision, and logging capabilities.

This document specifies requirements, functionality, and a protocol allowing for multi-vendor target carrier systems to be controlled according to the required traffic scenario, to report expected information for logging purposes and other functions required.

Scope
This document specifies requirements, procedures, and message formats for the controlling and monitoring of test targets, used for the testing of active safety functions and autonomous vehicles. The document specifies functionality and messaging for the monitoring and controlling of test objects by a control center facilitating an interoperable test object environment. This document does not specify the internal architecture of the test object and control center. This document does not specify how the testing of the vehicles shall be performed.
