Trilateral Impact Assessment Framework for Automation in Road Transportation, developed in EU–US–Japan cooperation. High-level framework to support harmonisation across three regions (EU, US, Japan). Includes recommendations and advice on:

• Classification of evaluated system/service
• Common vocabulary
• Direct and indirect impacts: 12 impact areas
• Impact mechanisms & paths
• Recommendations for experimental procedures
• Recommendations for data sharing
• KPI repository

C-Roads is a Platform, where authorities and road operators join together to harmonise the deployment activities of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) across Europe. The goal is to achieve the deployment of interoperable cross-border C-ITS services for road users. C-Roads has a work group for evaluation and assessment to harmonise evaluation activities related to these C-ITS deployments. Download the C-Roads evaluation plan here.

The L3Pilot project conducts large-scale testing and piloting of highly automated driving functions (ADFs), focusing on SAE Level 3, exposed to different users and mixed traffic environments, including conventional vehicles and vulnerable road users (VRUs) along different road networks. Extensive on-road testing is vital to ensure adequate operating performance for the ADFs, which includes understanding the changes in vehicle operations and traffic dynamics, and users’ interaction with, and acceptance of, ADFs. A multidisciplinary methodology was developed for piloting, testing and evaluating Level-3 ADFs.
