Setting up Experimental Procedure for Level 3 Automated Driving Pilots

The goal of the ongoing large scale EU H2020 project L3Pilot with a budget of 68M€ and 34 partners involved, is to pilot and assess the Level 3 automated driving functions ( ADFs) in real or close to real contexts and environments in several sites around Europe. The experimental procedure aims at responding to the question ‘ How to organize the pilot tests in each site to ensure sufficient data from pilots to project level evaluation?’ The work started by a theoretical analysis and recommendations on several topics to be considered when setting up the field trials . The next phase included the actual pilot site visits , and the work is to be finalised with the practical guidance to the pilot sites taking into
account a holistic view of L3pilot based on the preferred experimental procedure and the practical limitations and actual plans of each pilot.
