Project manager
Jonas Sjöberg

Harmonised European Solutions for Testing Automated Road Transport (HEADSTART) will define testing and validation procedures of functions including its key enabling technologies (i.e. communication, cyber-security, positioning) by cross-linking of all test instances such as simulation, proving ground and real-world field tests to validate safety and security performance according to the needs of key user groups (technology developers, consumer testing and type approval). SAFER (joint research unit) and its partners RISE, Chalmers, AB Volvo and Veoneer are involved in the project. SAFER will set up the requirements for testing and perform demonstrations at AstaZero.
