24 Sep 2025 Innovation and Application of Testing Methodology on Traffic Rule Compliance for ADS-Equipped Vehicles (China and RIRS) GRVA-23-44 2025-09-24 This document presents activities in China on a testing methodology for traffic rule compliance by ADS-equipped vehicles. The document addresses safety risks from inconsistent adherence to traffic regulations and proposes that ADS shall comply with traffic rules applicable to the dynamic driving task in the country of operation, applying the same rules as human drivers. It describes 12 core driving tasks categorized into safety, operation, and interaction clusters, 398 evaluation criteria, and 4 traffic elements. The methodology integrates virtual simulation, closed-site testing, and real-road testing to verify ADS compliance with traffic rules comprehensively within the operational design domain and in critical scenarios.
