ActiveTest - Dissemination of performance testing methods for ICT-based safety functions in road vehicles.

The largest improvements of road safety will depend on new functions with the aim to prevent accidents from happening. The ActiveTest support action will disseminate performance testing methods for active safety functions in road vehicles.

The support action ActiveTest has the goal to increase road safety by supporting the introduction of active safety functions, which allow mitigation or even avoidance of accidents. These functions are necessary to reduce fatalities on European roads significantly.

Several testing methods have been presented by standardisation, industry and research projects. Tools are being developed to support performance testing. ActiveTest will provide a forum for exchange of experiences and to compare principles from in-house testing at manufacturers with the results of research initiatives in Europe and overseas. This forum will be independent from industry,and thus neutral ground to allow for informal discussions.

To provide a physical forum for exchange and foster the establishment of a network of experts in the field of active safety testing, dedicated workshops will be organised by ActiveTest. They are directed towards industry, research, legislative and regulative bodies as well as consumer testing programmes.
