Bringing innovation to the road safely and sustainably
Bringing innovation to the road safely and sustainably
The rapidly advancing automation and electrification of vehicles requires innovative testing technologies and procedures in order to ensure safe and environmentally friendly mobility. With the Charter 2030, the testing organisations are taking a stand on the necessary further developments in technical vehicle testing.
PUBLICATION OF ADAS META-STUDY
Meta-study indicates need for more extensive testing of modern driver assistance systems
How reliably can a vehicle’s self-diagnostic system detect safety-relevant impairments in the functionality of driver-assistance systems? This question was investigated in a meta-study conducted jointly by Germany’s technical inspection organizations, FSD Fahrzeugsystemdaten GmbH and the TÜV Association.
Key finding: Safety-relevant functional impairments can occur without the vehicle’s self-diagnostic system reporting a fault or warning the driver.
Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are already tested as part of the periodical technical inspection (PTI) of motor vehicles, including through the electronic vehicle interface. However, the organizations involved consider it necessary to supplement current inspection procedures with appropriate function and efficiency testing in order to further improve road safety.
Key messages
The key messages of the Charter 2030
Holistic inspection of modern vehicles
As inspection organisations, we ensure a high level of safety and sustainability throughout the entire life cycle of a vehicle – from development through approval to operation.
Digitalisation and interconnectivity for safe and sustainable mobility
The experts and PTI inspectors of the testing organizations act as independent third parties for, among other things, the safety of connected vehicles and user-centric access to (mobility) data.
Sustainable protection of people and the environment
The inspection organisations ensure compliance with environmental standards and contribute to the introduction of environmentally compatible vehicle technologies and new mobility solutions.
Modern, innovation-friendly legal framework
The inspection organisations support the further progress and harmonisation of requirements for the development, approval and inspection of modern vehicles.

THE PERIODIC TECHNICAL INSPECTION – INNOVATIVE AND DIGITAL
The periodic technical inspection –
What will it look like in the future?
The testing organisations are further developing the main inspection through innovative testing technologies and procedures and an efficient and modular test procedure. Safety, environmental compatibility and compliance with regulations in increasingly digitalised traffic are thus guaranteed today and in the future.
