Testing automated features on cars for all possible scenarios is a costly process and requires billions of miles of testing before they are deemed safe.

Project CERTUS will speed up this process using digital simulation, helping to bring such technologies to the mass market quicker and more cost-effectively.

The £2.7m project aims to reduce the time it takes to validate and verify automated driving systems by 40 per cent.

The project will develop software tools to help verify and validate self-driving technology and determine which tests are needed before they can be brought to market.

Coventry University will support the development of the simulation technology, enabling the identification of scenarios to use in test programmes. The University will also work with government and industry to promote the results of the project and develop new educational and skills offerings.

Project lead, HORIBA MIRA will develop the tools and algorithms required to design the most efficient way to evaluate the automated driving system, including a mixed reality platform that will combine the physical test and virtual scenario modelling.
