This is the final report of the Active Safety Test Europe ASTE study for performance testing of ICT based safety systems for road transport. It summarises all tasks of the study. Chapters 1-4 describe state of the art, and have previously been reported in deliverable Dl. Chapters 5-10 describe testing requirements and potential testing methods, and have previously been reported in deliverable D2. Chapters 11 - 16 describe feasibility aspects of performance testing and give conclusions on the feasibility of setting up a performance testing programme. The ASTE study has concluded that: performance testing shall be developed to test the performance of a safetyfunction in a traffic scenario, not to verify fixed requirements on individualtechnical systems; performance testing is technically and economically feasible; it must be possible to summarise and express the performance test results in a very simple way; consensus between different stakeholders can be achieved, but this requires lot of efforts to gain a common platform; development of detailed test methods will be necessary; more and better crash statistics are needed from all member states, also information on pre-crash behaviour; all development of performance testing must be made in close cooperation with OEM vehicle manufacturers and system suppliers.
