Validation Methods for Automated Driving (VMAD)

This page provides access to the documents and meetings of the VMAD informal working group.
The next VMAD session will be held during 16-17 Apr 2020.

This informal working group resulted from the transfer of responsibility for automated vehicle activities from WP.29 to the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA). This group inherits the work begun under the WP.29 Intelligent Transport Systems-Automated Driving (ITS/AD) Task Force on the Assessment of Automated Vehicles (TFAV) and its Subgroup 1 on Physical Certification and Audit and Subgroup 2 on Real World Test Drive.
