Leveraging Virtual Testing in AVxcelerate for NCAP Crash Avoidance

Overview

The NCAP 2026 protocols introduce tougher requirements for crash avoidance systems, expanding the range and complexity of scenarios used to assess Active Safety Performance. Assisted and Automated Driving (AAD) systems must now demonstrate reliability across far more diverse and challenging conditions.

Yet traditional proving ground testing cannot easily scale to cover all scenarios defined in the latest Euro NCAP protocols. Physical tests are costly, difficult to repeat, and often unable to reproduce rare or hazardous conditions consistently.

Join us to learn how simulation driven validation can close this gap by expanding scenario coverage, improving repeatability, and accelerating development—helping the industry meet the next generation of safety standards with greater efficiency and confidence.

What Attendees Will Learn

• Understand the impact of NCAP 2026 protocols on the development and validation of crash avoidance and AAD (Assisted and Automated Driving) systems.
• Discover the limitations of traditional physical testing and why it falls short under the new Euro NCAP requirements.
• Learn how virtual testing and simulation enhance coverage, scalability, and efficiency in system validation.
• Gain insights into preparing your safety systems for compliance with the next generation of active safety standards.
