The SUNRISE project is a €13m EU-funded initiative (2022-2025) that established a harmonized framework for safety assurance of cooperative, connected and automated mobility (CCAM) systems before market deployment. Building on UNECE’s New Assessment/Test Method, this framework provides methods, tools and metrics related to CCAM safety assurance. This modular and scalable approach can be applied to all vehicle types and automation levels, and supports the industry as well as regulators and certifiers. The SUNRISE framework is now fully operational and is expected to accelerate the safe and large-scale deployment of highly automated vehicles across Europe.
