ENABLE 3S Testing & Validation of Highly Automated Systems

Kurzfassung

This document summarises the key results of the European research project ENABLE-S3, an European initiative to enable the validation of highly automated safe and secure systems. 68 industrial and academic partners from 16 European countries worked on methods and corresponding tools to be used to verify and validate automated vehicles, remotely controlled vessels, airplanes taxiing at airports, automated farming harvesters, trains as well as automated operating devices in the health domain. As these topics are of large interest to industry and at the core of various industry initiatives, the ENABLE-S3 project team intends to ensure that the ENABLE-S3 results will be applied successfully beyond the current number of project partners. In this document, the project work and key findings of the ENABLE-S3 project have been summarised, defining and demonstrating a practical, cost-efficient way to verify and validate highly automated systems, building the basis for future product releases and certification/homologation processes. The intended audience of this document are research- and engineering managers, public funding authorities as well as regulatory bodies to get an overview of recent advances in the field of scenario-based verification and validation for highly automated systems. The ENABLE-S3 research project was supported by the ECSEL Joint Undertaking of the European Commission as well as by the national funding authorities of the project partners. We would like to thank each participant for their contribution, making it possible to bring together experts from industry, academia and research institutions and creating a verification and validation framework for highly automated systems.
