Existing Standards and Current Research Activities

A 360-degree angle to drive alignment

Analyzing the direction of future test strategies, we need to consider the following: the standardization landscape is not a one-way street. It requires comparing existing standards and comprehensively identifying interrelations, gaps, and phases of development. This report aims to offer insight into the effect of new strategies and current activities, and to ask how the study group’s results might affect ongoing efforts. The overall goal: to compile all relevant information and develop a clear-sighted blueprint for testing strategies, adopt advance standardization in the ADAS/AD domain, and provide a common pool of knowledge.

ASAM aims to use existing standards where possible and – if necessary and feasible – to adapt them to the new requirements. Within this study, several of ASAM’s industry-proven standards, as well as important standards from other organizations, shall be evaluated for their usefulness for the validation of autonomous vehicles. To structure the analysis of individual standards in the next sub-chapters, this report applies the division of standards as follows:
