EU V4Safety: using simulation for safety in a proper way

If we want to estimate safety gains with simulation, how can we do this properly? There are choices in scoping, shaping and configuring a safety study with simulation. And how to model the current situation? V4Safety has set up a framework for prospective safety assessment using simulation. It provides instructions to make studies more transparent and comparable. Built on ISO 21934, it provides methods for baseline and an extensive overview of human models for simulation of human behavior in everyday and critical situations. The framework covers safety measures in policy, infrastructure and technology, demonstrated in nine vehicle-VRU use cases.
