This document provides a high level overview of key concepts and issues associated with the track and real-world testing pillars of the new assessment/test method (NATM).

Input concerning the selection and prioritization of traffic situations for development as scenarios under the VMAD activity and request for comments regarding concepts of “edge cases” and “baseline scenarios” and regarding diverse views on “three-layer approach”.

Draft VMAD subgroup paper describing the concepts for the development of scenarios for use in assessing automated driving systems.

Conceptual proposal for describing traffic scenarios under the New Assessment/Test Method for automated driving systems.

Japan answers to questions raised during VMAD discussions.

Raw list of proposals gathered from FRAV stakeholders during the 2nd FRAV session.

Updated version of the working paper on the “new assessment/test method” under development for automated driving systems.

Discussion paper to solicit input on scope and purpose of “System Safety” requirements, including on terms and definitions for use in such requirements.

Outcome of FRAV discussions on development of elements for ODD descriptions to be provided by manufacturers.

Updated version of the FRAV “Document 5” per changes agreed in document FRAV-03-05-Add.2. and revised format to improve tracking and document open issues.

Proposals for “tasks and deliverables” with regard to enhanced child restraint systems and alternative seating configurations enabled by automated driving.
