HEADSTART D3.3 Assessment criteria of CAD functionalities for consumer testing and type approval

This deliverable presents the work done in HEADSTART work package 3: Task 3.3 “Assessment criteria definition”. Task 3.3 describes the assessment criteria that are part of the evaluation within the HEADSTART methodology to perform the safety assessment for a Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV). These results will be used in HEADSTART T3.5 “Test procedure for defined use cases” to further detail the HEADSTART methodology, procedures and tools for the HEADSTART selected use cases. In HEADSTART work package 4 “Application and demonstration” the criteria will be used to apply and demonstrate the HEADSTART methodology via the different HEADSTART use cases to show its potential. This report describes existing, current and upcoming, criteria from the HEADSTART key user groups; Approval, Consumer testing and Technology developers. The levels at which the criteria would be met (PASS/FAIL) or score a certain amount of points are not defined, but an overview of assessment criteria that can be considered for the evaluation of the HEADSTART methodology is made for a full system assessment. The existing criteria are used as a basis and additional criteria that might be needed to facilitate the HEADSTART methodology are defined. Additional criteria are related to the fact that the HEADSTART methodology is scenario-based, resulting in a large number of scenarios and test cases being evaluated. Also, the higher level of automation introduces additional requirements as it is less solution specific and individual function driven and gives room for various solutions. For example, the “avoid crash” can be achieved in multiple ways, which needs to be represented in the criteria. Each of the HEADSTART Key Enabling Technologies (KETs): Communication (V2X), Positioning and Cybersecurity is discussed individually, and potential assessment criteria are listed.
