In the publicly funded project V&V Methods, Fraunhofer IESE is conducting research together with its project partners on test procedures and validation methods to provide safety cases for automated vehicles (SAE Levels 4 and 5).

The goal of the project V&V Methods (Verification & Validation Methods) is to develop test procedures and provide systematic methods to engineer safety cases for automated vehicles. The VVM project is working on the use case of urban intersections and focuses on driving functions up to the complete automation of vehicles (SAE Levels 4 and 5). It builds on the results of the PEGASUS project, which dealt with the identification and description of critical scenarios and their transfer into generally applicable test cases for highly automated vehicles (Level 3) using the example of the highway pilot.
The V&V Methods project extends the PEGASUS method to Level 4 and Level 5 driving in urban environments using the example of urban intersections. In addition, the V&V Methods project works on integrating safety case creation as an integral part of the development process.
