MUSICC Symposium: The pathway to certification of CAVs
2019-06-24 09:30 - 16:30 (Europe/Brussels) | Milton Keynes, 3rd Floor, The Pinnacle 170 Midsummer Boulevard, Milton Keynes, MK9 1BP, United Kingdom
The Multi User Scenario Catalogue for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (MUSICC) Symposium will bring together industry experts who share an interest in the verification and certification of CAVs / Highly Automated Vehicles (HAVs), to inform the direction of the MUSICC project.
MUSICC is a Department for Transport commissioned project, being delivered by the Connected Places Catapult, which is exploring aspects of the future certification framework for HAVs. The aim of MUSICC is to create an initial implementation of a usable, living, CAV/HAV scenario catalogue. The catalogue will store scenarios that specify the critical situations which highly-automated vehicles must handle safely to be suitable for release to market. For more information about the project, click here: https://ts.catapult.org.uk/innovation-centre/cav/cav-projects-at-the-tsc/musicc/
The project architect will present the scenario definition language and online scenario repository created by the project, and report on the ongoing testing phase of the MUSICC system. A keynote presentation will be given by a representative of the UK regulator, and will describe their agenda for HAVs. Additional speakers will highlight the views of CAV test beds, simulation tool providers, and HAV developers.
Two break-out sessions will allow stakeholders to input on firstly the shape of the certification framework surrounding MUSICC, and secondly the priorities for system functionality to support this.
Agenda to follow.

1st HEADSTART Technical Workshop
2019-06-12 09:00 (Europe/Brussels)
The HEADSTART project organises its 1st Technical Workshop on new approaches for ´Scenarios selection´ and ´Consumer Testing´ in Eindhoven,Netherlands on 12 of June 2019 within the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles (ESV) Conference
HEADSTART (Harmonised European Solutions for Testing Automated Road Transport) is a new European initiative that aims to define testing and validation procedures on specific functionalities of Connected and Automated Driving (CAD).
The HEADSTART project will organize a workshop in conjunction with the 26th Enhanced Safety for Vehicles (ESV) conference and exhibition held in the Netherlands on 10-13 June 2019.

The workshop will provide an opportunity to understand and provide feedback on the project proposed approaches and preliminary results, but also to drive the next stages of the project and get actively involved throughout. Indeed HEADSTART will establish an Expert Network with whom to engage for input and consultation on the project progress to advance CAD test methods, procedures and tools. The workshop is targeted at vehicle safety assessment experts across all sectors to discuss key stakeholders requirements and preliminary output from two HEADSTART Working Groups specifically:

Consumer Testing (NCAP)
Scenario selection

The workshop is free of charge and open to participants not registered to ESV.
The registration closed as we reached the maximum amount of participants. Thank you for your interest!
