Virtual safety assessment of autonomous vehicle for Malaysian environment

There are several challenges that need to be focused once emphasizing on the scenario-based testing of autonomous vehicle in Malaysian road and traffic environment. Hence, a safety assessment in virtual platform for autonomous vehicle is required as part of the homologation process to further enhance the deployment of autonomous vehicles in developing countries, such as Malaysia. The platform can be used as the first layer of testing procedure for autonomous vehicles using various type of scenarios and testing standards before focusing on physical testing.
