advanced assessment protocol.29 Mar 2019 07:47
The Euro ncap protocol found yesterday makes reference to an advanced assessment protocol. its 2012 so may be out of date and I am not totally sure what the advanced assessment actually means. But OEMs submit a Dossier in two stages. I have selected parts from the document:
In Phase I, the manufacturer must make an initial submission giving technical details of the innovation and the safety issue it is intended to address.
3.2 In Phase II, the manufacturer must provide details of the ways in which the potential effectiveness of the system has been evaluated: the targets set for the system, the tests which have been performed to assess performance and the number of casualties the system could be expected to prevent. The full dossier, will be reviewed by an assessment group that is formed by Euro NCAP.
As a first step, the manufacturer needs to select the scenarios from GIDAS which are applicable for the innovation. These scenarios need be detailed in the dossier. The result needs to be subdivided based on road type, city (urban), rural and motorway. This is called the problem at large and needs to be entered in the excel template by the manufacturer.
As a next step, the manufacturer needs to determine the safety potential from the problem at large. This is done by filtering the problem at large using the technical system limitations, like speed, overlap, lighting conditions etc. The filters applied need to be justified in the dossier.
5.3 Chapter 5: Real world experience
If available, the dossier should summarize the findings from real-world or simulated real-world evaluations. Examples are so-called field operational trials (FOT) or driving simulator studies, although the possibilities to generalize the conclusions in the latter case are limited. The most reliable real- world data source is the actual tracking of system performance using instrumented vehicles in the whole or parts of Europe. It is acknowledged that such studies however are rare and hard to perform. Consumer feedback can be reviewed as well.
A quick look on Google found the following report.( again its old data.) I guess the OEM need to say how their tech saves lives on these different types of road. Clearly long distance on boring roads and higher speeds needs to be covered. A slow speed tech could fail on Motorways i would suggest.
