Presentation

Traffic Rule Compliance Assessment for Autonomous Vehicle

This presentation explores the critical role of traffic rule compliance assessment in the approval and authorisation of automated driving systems. By utilising roadside infrastructure within real-world testbeds, this approach facilitates the capture of key data to compare the driving behavior of operators under assessment with other road users in the same location and time. The discussion includes practical examples of compliance assessment and reporting, providing insights into how these evaluations inform regulatory decisions and strengthen public trust in AV technology. Ultimately, this assessment validates driving competency and ensures adherence to safety and traffic regulations.
