1. Introduction

The following protocol addresses assessments in the field of safe driving, particularly for occupant condition monitoring and speed assist systems.

2. Test evaluation methods

Unlike evaluating the protection provided in the event of a crash, the evaluation of safety assist features does not require destructive testing of the vehicle.The assessment of safety assist functions is based on Euro-NCAP validated performance requirements.Its purpose is to promote standard installation in all cars sold in the European Community and, where possible, to incorporate the good functionality of these systems.

It is important to note that Euro-NCAP will only consider installation requirements for assessing compliance with essential safety equipment or dual-rated safety aids (as specified in the Vehicle Specification, Selection, Testing and Retesting Protocol).For seatbelt reminder and speed assist performance evaluations, cars go through a series of test sequences designed to highlight the effectiveness of the systems.Car performance is scored using the inspector's observations while driving.In addition to the basic Euro-NCAP assessment, some additional information may be recorded which may be added to the Euro-NCAP assessment in the future.
