Abstract

This Simulation Assessment Guidelines document is a public guidelines document developed by the Centre of Excellence for Testing & Research of AVs - NTU (CETRAN) in collaboration with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore. It is primarily intended to help the developers of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) in Singapore to prepare their software simulations and provide recommendations that can ensure their readiness for independent assessment of their virtual simulation results according to the Milestone-testing framework adopted by the assessor and the local authority in Singapore, namely, CETRAN and LTA respectively.
