Euro NCAP partners with IVEX for On-road Robustness Testing

[Leuven, the 1st of March 2024] – Euro NCAP is teaming up with IVEX for a world’s first on-road robustness test and assessment initiative. The collaboration aims to develop the protocols for on-road robustness evaluation for active safety systems in passenger cars which will be in vigour starting in 2026.

Scope and Goals

The collaboration seeks to enhance testing methodologies for ADAS by introducing dynamic and on-road robustness tests in the evaluation process. IVEX will play a major role in data analytics and reporting, ensuring comprehensive and insightful assessment criteria of all collected data.

This collaboration marks an important step forward in our commitment to evolve vehicle’s safety. With real-world driving scenarios, Euro NCAP aims to provide a more accurate and robust evaluation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). IVEX brings valuable expertise to this vision, and we look forward to the insights of this collaboration.
