Euro NCAP Test Suite

Generate test specifications, seed scenarios, and scenario variants for automated driving standards like Euro NCAP and evaluate test metrics

The Automated Driving Toolbox™ Test Suite for Euro NCAP^® Protocols support package enables you to automatically generate specifications for various Euro NCAP^® tests, which include safety assessments of automated driving applications such as Safety Assist Tests and Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Protection Tests. You can create a seed scenario for a Euro NCAP test, and vary parameters such as, scene parameters, actor parameters, and simulator parameters to generate variants of it. Use these scenario variations for safety assessment of different automated driving applications, such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB) car-to-car and AEB car-to-pedestrian scenarios. For more information, see Get Started with Euro NCAP Test Suite.

To automatically generate seed scenarios for the Euro NCAP test protocols, and to generate their scenario variants, download and install the Automated Driving Toolbox Test Suite for Euro NCAP Protocols support package from the Automated Driving Toolbox Test Suite for Euro NCAP Protocols Add-On. For more information on downloading add-ons, see Get and Manage Add-Ons.
