SUNRISE Webinar – Requirements for CCAM safety assessment data framework content
2024-03-07 13:00 - 14:00 (Africa/Johannesburg)
Webinar Thursday 07 March 2024
Safety assurance of automated vehicles is crucial for their successful adoption. It is commonly accepted that scenario-based validation, combining both physical and virtual testing is the most promising approach to test and assess the reliability of automated vehicles. However, the lack of a common European validation framework, and homogeneity regarding safety validation procedures, hampers the deployment of CCAM solutions.
The SUNRISE project develops a Safety Assurance Framework (SAF) for scenario-based safety validation of CCAM systems, covering a broad portfolio of test cases and validation tools, with standardised, open interfaces and quality-controlled data exchange. To this end, the project has identified the needs of the different stakeholders involved in testing and safety assessment of automated vehicles.
The topic of this webinar is SUNRISE data framework and constituting federated scenario databases, and the first related report identifying the requirements for their content definition.
Agenda:

SUNRISE project introduction (Sjef van Montfort, TNO)
Content harmonisation of data framework and scenario databases (Sjef van Montfort, TNO)
Requirements for CCAM safety assessment data framework content (Fadi Alakkad, University of Warwick)

SUNRISE Webinar - Scenario-based testing methodologies for safety assurance of Connected and Automated Mobility Systems
2023-12-13 13:00 - 14:00 | Online
Safety assurance of automated vehicles is crucial for their successful adoption and deployment in society.
Worldwide, several initiatives have started to develop test and assessment methods for automated vehicles, applying a scenario-based approach, and combining both physical and virtual testing. However, the lack of a common European validation framework, and homogeneity regarding safety validation procedures, hampers the deployment of CCAM solutions. The SUNRISE project will specify and demonstrate a harmonized and scalable Safety Assurance Framework that fulfils the needs of the different stakeholders involved in testing and safety validation of CCAM systems, from developers and Certifiers to Researchers and tool developers. To achieve this goal, SUNRISE will establish a European federated database centralising detailed scenarios for testing of CCAM functions and systems in a multitude of relevant test cases, with standardised, open interfaces and quality-controlled data exchange.
The topic of this webinar will be scenario-based testing methodologies for safety assurance of CCAM: the definition of the SUNRISE methodology to support the safety argumentation, and the first related report analysing existing methodologies and relevant standardization efforts to identify best practices and gaps to be addressed in SUNRISE.

SUNRISE Webinar - Developing a Safety Assurance Framework for Connected and Automated Mobility Systems – State-of-the-Art, gaps and requirements
2023-12-04 13:00 - 14:00
Safety assurance of automated vehicles is crucial for their successful adoption and deployment in society. Worldwide, several initiatives have started to develop test and assessment methods for automated vehicles, applying a scenario-based approach, and combining both physical and virtual testing. However, the lack of a common approach is leading to silo solutions, hampering the large-scale and safe introduction of automated vehicles in our society. The SUNRISE project develops a harmonized and scalable Safety Assurance Framework that fulfills the needs of the different stakeholders involved in testing and safety assessment of automated vehicles, from CCAM systems developers and Certifiers to Researchers and tool developers.
To achieve this goal, SUNRISE will establish a European federated database centralising detailed scenarios for testing of CCAM functions and systems in a multitude of relevant test cases, based on a virtual simulation environment with standardised, open interfaces and quality-controlled data exchange.
This webinar will present the SUNRISE Safety Assurance Framework (SAF) development, as well as the first related report which provides a comprehensive overview of existing safety assessment frameworks for CCAM systems, their strengths and limitations, as well as the identified requirements to be considered, covering the needs of each stakeholder, to support the development of SUNRISE SAF.
