Euro NCAP Vision 2030<\/h3>\n\n \n\n\n \n\n

We\u2019re excited to see that Euro NCAP published its Vision 2030 in April, outlining its perspective on how to continue improving vehicle safety in the face of changing and growing technologies. But what does Euro NCAP Vision 2030 mean to you?<\/h5>\n\n\n

At OXTS we work with a lot of vehicle manufacturers \u2013 both OEMs, and niche players working on fully autonomous vehicles. In this blog, I want to look at what NCAP has said and what it might mean for our customers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n\n

The new test system will increase the tests you need to do.<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n

Perhaps the biggest news for vehicle manufacturers is that Euro NCAP is introducing a new system of testing in 2026. They will replace the current ratings for adults, children, vulnerable road users and driver assistance systems with four new categories: safe driving, crash avoidance, crash protection and post-crash safety.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a continuation of the shift away from purely passive safety to a more holistic look at safety overall. Part of the rationale is to make the system less complicated. However, making it easier to integrate new technologies into the testing framework as they are developed is also key. Furthermore, the systems that our customers currently test, such as AEB, are no longer being tested in a specific context or location.<\/p>\n

Euro NCAP has also plans to make active safety testing more representative of the real world, making tests \u201cless idealised\u201d. We will though have to wait to see exactly what that means. One conceivable consequence is that the way you incorporate ADAS targets into your tests may have to change. Self-navigating platforms may well become the standard, with the routes they need to follow becoming more detailed as the test attempts to accurately mimic the behaviour of road users.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cThe OXTS RT-Range<\/a>\u00a0system is a very flexible system that allows users to get vehicle-to-target range data in any possible future scenario with up to four targets. Therefore, we firmly believe that RT-Range will remain the \u2018go-to\u2019 testing tool whatever these real-world scenarios look like\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

Our advice in a nutshell <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in charge of testing, be prepared to test any of your vehicle\u2019s systems in a range of conditions and environments. Keep an eye out for developments that affect how you use ADAS targets, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to train your simulator up<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n

Euro NCAP has stated a desire to \u201cstep up the use of virtual testing\u201d as part of the new system. This will allow manufacturers to conduct more tests faster than they would if doing them in the real world (though, of course, real-world tests will remain central to the Euro NCAP safety ratings).<\/p>\n

However, given that the simulators will be used to run a wider variety of tests, in a greater range of conditions, it\u2019s highly likely that you\u2019ll need to go and gather data to build additional virtual tests.<\/p>\n

Our advice in a nutshell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look out for information about additional tests. As that becomes available, start planning in time to record new test scenarios for your simulator so you can hit the ground running.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n\n

Autonomous Vehicle Manufacturers \u2013 it could be your turn soon!<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n

The Vision 2030 document devotes a page to the autonomous vehicle market. It may not surprise you to know that the focus is on vehicles that transport people (rather than autonomous lorries or delivery robots).<\/p>\n

For now, Euro NCAP has said it would like to create a voluntary safety assessment for self-driving vehicles, and is actively welcoming partnerships with \u201crelevant stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Up to now, there has been three fairly simple \u2018highway assist\u2019 type tests developed. These are cut in, cut out and s-bend scenarios.<\/p>\n

But make no mistake \u2013 specialised assessments for autonomous vehicles will be coming. The Vision 2030 document says: \u201cmany of the underlying tests [in the existing Euro NCAP ratings] are meaningful if the requirements could be better adjusted to the operational design domain\u201d, implying that the existing tests are at least a starting point for any manufacturer looking to test their safety systems. We know that many autonomous vehicle manufacturers are already conducting their own rigorous safety testing, so it may be advisable to investigate how closely your own tests align with the Euro NCAP assessments.<\/p>\n

Our advice in a nutshell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Investigate whether your own safety tests are comparable to the existing Euro NCAP assessments. Beyond that, wait and see what the voluntary safety assessment looks like when it comes \u2013 or contact Euro NCAP directly and offer to contribute to the creation of that assessment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n\n

The road ahead<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n

As I read the Vision 2030 document it becomes more apparent that soon it won\u2019t be possible to get a five-star rating without many of the systems that we help customers test. The demand this will put on the teams responsible for testing vehicles will be noticeable \u2013 there will be more tests required, perhaps more frequently, in more environments and conditions.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the scrutiny on these systems and the standards to which they are held is going to start to rise. If everyone needs to have an AEB system, for instance, then the focus will soon shift to \u201chow\u00a0good<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is your AEB system?\u201d This will fuel innovation at the system design level, but it will also require an additional level of accuracy when testing these systems.<\/p>\n

At OXTS, we\u2019ve spent over 25 years perfecting INS technology that helps deliver precision measurements while being scalable. We\u2019re proud to be an integral part of many major OEM\u2019s test payloads, and that our devices have been the reference systems for testing across the industry \u2013 including for Euro NCAP. If you\u2019re thinking about how Vision 2030 will affect your testing setup and whether you need to revisit your hardware, we\u2019d love to talk things through with you \u2013 just click here to get in touch.<\/a><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cThe continued evolution of ADAS development is very exciting from a test and validation point of view. The utility and flexibility of RT-Range will allow users to remain at the forefront, whatever comes along in the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
