Safe Driving, Human Factors & Crash Avoidance

Connected evidence. Separate scoring ownership.

D01 + D02 · 190 proposed points

Human factors and crash avoidance retain separate scoring ownership

D01 evaluates driver monitoring, essential controls, warnings and the response to an unresponsive driver. D02 evaluates avoidance and mitigation across vehicles, powered two wheelers, pedestrians, cyclists, lane departure and low-speed manoeuvring.

The two domains are presented together for navigation, but each keeps its own maximum, floor, evidence and applicable gates.

Safe driving, human factors and crash avoidance assessment
Avoidance outcomes involving pedestrians and cyclists belong to D02. Passive and impact-activated exterior protection belongs to D06.

Controls, warnings and driver state

Evidence covers identification, reach, operation and visual demand for essential controls; material warnings and limitations; representative driver-monitoring coverage; escalation; and the defined response when the driver does not re-engage.

Vehicle and road-user avoidance

Released scenarios may cover longitudinal, crossing, turning, junction, cut-in, cut-out and reverse hazards involving vehicles, powered two wheelers, pedestrians and cyclists.

Lane and low-speed protection

Lane-departure mitigation, emergency steering, manoeuvring hazards, pedal-misapplication mitigation and door-opening warnings are assessed where included in the released profile.

Robustness and false intervention

The released test conditions may address darkness, glare, spray, occlusion, degraded markings and sensor blockage while recording missed, delayed and dangerous interventions.

Draft scoring boundary

Night, weather or fault conditions do not create automatic multipliers or penalties. They may affect points, a modifier, a gate or a class cap only where the released protocol explicitly specifies that treatment. Annex F scoring functions and modifier rules remain under technical development.
