Road vehicles — Test scenarios for automated driving systems — Qualification of virtual test environments ISO/PAS 34506

Scope

This document provides guidelines for a comprehensive qualification scheme for VTE used in the evaluation of ADS. It specifies the criteria and procedures for assessing the VTE.
This document is applicable to Open-Loop as well as Closed-Loop environments. Examples are Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) testing methodologies and may extend to hybrid testing techniques such as Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) and Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL).
This document does not address the validation or assessment of individual simulation models, such as sensor or vehicle dynamics models, nor does it evaluate the ADS themselves.
This document is intended for ADS developers, testing organizations, and regulatory bodies responsible for ensuring that VTE can provide reliable and adequate representations of real-world test environments.
