SAE J3252_202308

This report provides the process for developing a flexible test framework to support the creation of system-level cooperative driving automation (CDA) Feature test procedures, which are intended to be objective, repeatable, and transparent, and enable collaborative testing of the Feature. Utilizing a Feature’s functional and logical scenario details, it provides the building blocks necessary to develop cooperative automated driving system (C-ADS)-equipped vehicle (C-ADS-V) and CDA infrastructure (CDA-I) system diagrams, identify the interfaces to and from the systems, and identify the set of functional test support components specific to the CDA Feature. Utilizing these details, along with the Feature-specific concrete scenarios, a method for developing a test scope and system level use-case-focused test procedures is provided. Cooperative driving automation (CDA) depends on interactions between systems developed and operated by a diverse set of public and private stakeholders. During the development of a CDA Feature, these stakeholders may work independently. To ensure proper operation of the Feature and interoperability between the various stakeholder implementations, a common set of test procedures are required. This SAE Information Report provides the methodology and process for developing these test procedures.
