The EU project V4SAFETY (Vehicles and VRU Virtual eValuation of Road Safety) provides a prospective framework for simulation-based safety assessment to determine the long-term performance and impact of road safety measures - ranging from in-vehicle and infrastructure solutions to regulations that influence road user behaviour.
This webinar will present how to set up a simulation structure fit for the intended evaluation scope, and how to select suitable modelling approaches for each element in the structure, such as traffic participants, infrastructure, environmental conditions, and simulation control mechanisms. The presented methodology builds upon established standards such as (ISO 21934-1, 2021) and (ISO 21934-2, 2024), as well as the P.E.A.R.S. framework and aims to support the evaluation of both pre-crash and in-crash safety measures, including vehicle-integrated technologies, infrastructure-based interventions, and behavioural changes among traffic participants.
The Processor is a tool to support V4SAFETY Framework users in creating simulation structures, selecting models, and generating related documentation following the guidelines set up by the project.
This webinar is the third of a series of webinars that present the final project results in details. The first webinar presented the safety assessment framework & evaluation scope while the second webinar focused on the baseline approach selection and comparison of baselines and simulation tools for assessment results.
