MIRA China signs a strategic partnership and software representation agreement with IVEX

[Shanghai, the 3rd of September 2024] – MIRA China and IVEX announced a collaboration to help OEMs perform Euro NCAP on-road evaluation and support L3 regulatory and consumer assessment functional verification and scenario development in the Asia Pacific region.

Scope and Goals

Vehicle manufacturers must demonstrate to Euro NCAP that they have conducted sufficient intelligent driving testing and validation work to meet current regulatory and consumer assessment requirements. As Euro NCAP’s test software is IVEX’s NCAP On Road Evaluation software, MIRA China is confident that the collaboration, which will bring the evaluation software to the Asia Pacific region, will meet the industry needs and further the advancement of partial and full autonomous vehicles for OEMs:

We’re thrilled to bring IVEX software to Asia Pacific region, combining our strengths and leveraging our strong ties with Euro NCAP & the industry. This collaboration is a huge step forward in advancing automotive safety and innovation in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.

IVEX NCAP On-Road Evaluation Software

  • Large-scale data navigation: convert large-scale road measurement data into parameterized scenarios to re-analyze key events
  • Euro NCAP Robustness Assessment: Comes with Euro NCAP scoring label rules, verifies the active safety performance of real vehicle ADAS, and gives an indicative score
  • Key scenario factor extraction: Quickly extract hidden ADAS scenarios from data, immediately tag key events, and easily evaluate potential safety issues in ADAS/AD functions through ODD
  • Data export in standard formats: Export data in ASAM OpenScenario XML and OpenDrive, to construct a real-road model
  • Perception system evaluation: Verify the performance of the perception system

At the 2024 China Automotive Testing Expo, MIRA showed IVEX’s NCAP On Road data analysis software at its parent company HORIBA Group’s booth, along with MIRA’s newly launched intelligent driving test scenario generation toolchain: VERICAV.

IVEX’s NCAP On Road data analysis software combined with MIRA’s VERICAV scenario generation toolchain helps OEMs to intelligently handle a wider range of ADAS/AD driving functions resolving the challenges of scene generation and validation, which results in a 1+1>2 effect. Together, we provide higher-confidence intelligent driving solutions for the automotive industry.
