SVA – Simulation of Autonomous Vehicule Safety

Project description

Meet the challenge posed by the complexity of the safety demonstration of the autonomous vehicle through the use of digital simulation

The autonomous vehicle, which interprets its environment via sensors such as cameras and radars, must be designed to ensure the safety of its occupants and other road users. Consequently, it must be designed to cope with technical failures, external disturbances (eg rain, glare, etc.) that could affect the efficiency of its sensors and the difficulties of interpreting its environment (e.g. erased markings on the ground). This represents a real challenge.

Launched in 2015 for a period of four years, the SVA project aims to address the issue of autonomous vehicle validation through digital simulation, by developing methods and tools to assist in the design and validation.
