General Information
Overview
ISO 34505:2025 - Road vehicles - Test scenarios for automated driving systems - Scenario evaluation and test case generation defines a methodology to evaluate scenarios and a procedure to extend scenarios into test cases for automated driving systems (ADS). Applicable to Level 3 and higher ADS (per ISO/SAE PAS 22736), the standard specifies the necessary characteristics of test cases (for example unified identifiers, test objectives, inputs, steps, platforms, and expected results) and focuses on testing for functional safety and safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF). The guidance is also broadly applicable to non-safety test scenarios.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scenario evaluation: Criteria and methods to assess scenarios by frequency, criticality, complexity, and their relation to functional and technical requirements.
- Test case characteristics: Required elements such as identifiers, objectives, concrete inputs, execution steps, target platforms (simulation, closed-track, real-world), and expected outcomes.
- Coverage analysis: Measuring coverage with respect to system requirements, operational design domain (ODD), and test criteria.
- Test case generation: Procedures to extend prioritized scenarios into concrete, repeatable test cases suitable for virtual and physical execution.
- Prioritization & optimization: Methods to rank scenarios and optimize a prioritized set of test cases for efficient validation and regression testing.
- Test evaluation lifecycle: Guidance for evaluation before execution (selection and priority), during execution (initialization, monitoring), and after execution (comparison of specified vs. executed cases, simulation validity, and exposure assessment).
- Applicability: Directly applicable to Level 3+ ADS; content also useful for non-safety validation activities.
Practical applications and users
ISO 34505:2025 is intended for organizations and roles involved in ADS validation and safety assurance:
- OEMs and Tier‑1 suppliers creating validation programs and test plans.
- Validation and verification teams building scenario libraries and automated test benches.

Introduction
The rapid development of automated driving technology with the goal of improving safety and comfort has
become an important aspect in the development of modern automobile technology. The evaluation of tests of
automated driving systems (ADSs) based on test scenarios has become a common method.
A scenario is a sequence of scenes usually including the ADS(s)/subject vehicle(s) and their interactions in the
process of performing a dynamic driving task (DDT). A test scenario is a scenario intended for the testing
and assessment of ADS(s) or subject vehicle(s) in their operational environment (see ISO 34501). A test case
is a set of test inputs (stimulation), steps, test platforms and expected results (pass/fail criteria) developed
for a particular test objective (the test case is defined later in this document). In order to execute the test,
some additional items are needed to supplement the scenario. Another important topic is how to choose the
right test scenarios for a particular automated driving system (ADS) function.
This document is the basis of generating and evaluating scenario-based test cases for ADSs.
This document is intended to be used to harmonize and standardize the evaluation of scenarios and the
procedure and methodology of the generation of test cases for ADSs.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 34501, ISO 34502, ISO 34503,
ISO 34504 and the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
prospective scenario criticality
measurable criteria to reflect the number and weighting of the risk factors in the scenario
Note 1 to entry: This definition is focus on field of safety, for other field like to test the energy economy of ADS could
have other criteria.
Note 2 to entry: The prospective scenario criticality describes in prospective the possible collision and its impact to the
safety of the traffic participants and the passenger(s) of the ADS equipped vehicle, and is based on ISO 34502:2022, 3.1.
Note 3 to entry: The measurement for the prospective scenario criticality can be a weighted sum of the expected time
to collision and expected relative velocity at the collision time.
Note 4 to entry: Knowledge of the ADS can be considered while estimating the criticality of the scenario, but it is not
necessary to consider it as the real safety assessment of ADS is done after testing the scenario.
Note 5 to entry: Due to the different operational design domain (ODD) and DDT definition of each ADS, the prospective
scenario criticality rating may be different for each ADS.
Note 6 to entry: For some ODD attributes, the scenarios at the boundary of ODD are more critical compared to the non-
ODD boundary. Attributes inside ODD can also cause risks.
EXAMPLE A rather uncritical scenario is driving with low velocity (e.g. on traffic jam) on a highway with a leading
vehicle and nominal weather conditions and standard road infrastructure [see nominal scenario (3.6)]. A rather critical
scenario is driving with an ADS at higher velocity on a multi-city road having a cut in with a much lower velocity close
in front of the ADS. The relative velocity of the ADS and the cut in vehicle is high and thus the probability of a collision
and impact is potentially high. In this example the prospective scenario criticality metric as described in Note 2 to
entry can be used.
3.2
scenario complexity
measurable criteria to reflect dimensionality factors
Note 1 to entry: Dimensionality factors are factors or conditions of a scenario that, if present, increase the number of
possible combinations of relevant scenario parameters that may influence the ADS driving task.
EXAMPLE 1 Dimensionality factors can describe the behaviour of the participating road users, the defined road
infrastructure and the environmental conditions.
Note 2 to entry: The more dimensionality factors there are, the more complex the scenario typically is.
Note 3 to entry: Factors, influencing the complexity, can be systematically classified into the following (see
ISO 34502:2022 Annexes A, B, C and D):
— the complexity factor information of road, e.g. road construction;
— the complexity factor information of infrastructure;
— the complexity factor information of temporary modifications and events;
— the complexity factor information of objects, e.g. the number and the type of dynamic traffic participants and their
behaviours;
— the complexity factor information of environment, e.g. various weather conditions;
— the complexity factor information of digital information.
Note 4 to entry: The complexity of a scenario can correlate with the amount of effort that is necessary to realise the
scenario because of the high number of scenario attributes to be considered.
Note 5 to entry: As far as virtual testing is concerned, a higher scenario complexity means a bigger effort to implement
the higher number of scenario attributes. When the scenario is tested in the real world, the effort can be defined by the
time or costs to realise the scenario.
EXAMPLE 2 A rather noncomplex scenario is driving on main roadway of a 2-lane highway without other influencing
traffic participants. A rather complex scenario is driving on a 4-lane highway with dense traffic in rainy conditions
while other traffic participants change the speed and lane frequently.
3.3
scenario exposure
measurable criteria to reflect the probability of occurrence of a scenario
Note 1 to entry: From a mathematical perspective the probability of a concrete scenarios (concrete values of continuous
parameters) is zero. Nevertheless, a scenario can represent a set of concrete scenarios such that this scenario has a
probability greater than zero.
Note 2 to entry: It can be measured via calculating the occurrence frequency of a scenario in real driving.
3.4
scenario evaluation
systematic determination of the extent to which a scenario meets a specified criterion
[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 25040:2011, 4.16, modified — Term was originally "evaluation", "entity" was replaced by
"scenario" in the definition. ]
3.5
test case
set of test inputs (stimulation), steps, platforms and expected results (pass/fail criteria) developed for a
particular test objective
Note 1 to entry: Test objectives can be used to exercise a particular programmed path or to verify compliance of the
system under test (SUT) with a specific requirement or architectural element (e.g. software unit level or vehicle level).
Note 2 to entry: The test case includes test scenarios and considers the ODD or target operational domain (TOD).
Details on TOD are provided in ISO 34503.
Note 3 to entry: Subclause 6.4 describes how to extend scenarios to test cases and defines the characteristics of test cases.
Note 4 to entry: Depending on the detailed definition of a test scenario, the test case can be equal to the test scenario
or a superset of a test scenario. For example, the pass/fail criteria can be included in the test scenario or can be added
to the test scenario such that the test case compound by the test scenario and the pass/fail criteria.
Note 5 to entry: The evaluation of the test case can be ADS specific.
Note 6 to entry: The effectiveness of a test case depends on the overall test goal. The overall test goals can be to give
evidence for argumentation (e.g. safety, laws, regulations) or find failure/error/problems or challenge the ADS.
3.6
nominal scenario
traffic scenario containing reasonably foreseeable situations that reflect normal condition and non-critical
driving manoeuvres
Note 1 to entry: Traffic scenario means a description of one or more real-world driving situations that may occur
during a given trip.
[SOURCE: Reference [12]]
3.7
macroscopic evaluation
evaluation of the performance of an ADS based on multiple executed test scenarios
Note 1 to entry: Details on macroscopic evaluation are stated in ISO 34502:2022, F.3.
3.8
microscopic evaluation
evaluation of the performance of an ADS based on a single, executed test scenario
Note 1 to entry: Details on microscopic evaluation are stated in ISO 34502:2022, F.3.
3.9
ADS feature
ADS’s design-specific functionality at a given level of driving automation within a particular ODD, if
applicable
[SOURCE: ISO/TS 5083:2025, 3.3, modified — Notes to entry and the example were removed.]
3.10
diagnostics
process including the detection process of possible malfunctions, the identification of the likely root cause of
these malfunctions and the appraisal of its relevance for the operation of the vehicle
[SOURCE: ISO 20077-1:2017, 3.2, modified — The original term entry included the admitted term “diagnostics
process”.]
3.11
in-vehicle information and control system
in-vehicle system that manages the information from inside the vehicle and from its environment to
influence the state or behaviour of the vehicle
Note 1 to entry: The system includes hardware (e.g. physical sensors, actuators, and hardware controller) and
software.
Note 2 to entry: The system refers to subsystems or the entire system.
4 Introduction and overview
4.1 General
The traceability over all artefacts is a clause-overarching topic which is further described in
ISO 26262-2:2018. In Clause 5 the inputs are defined to evaluate the scenarios. Before the scenario evaluation
the test objective is defined. In Clause 6 the scenario evaluation activities that need to be performed before
the test execution are described. This is done by evaluating the scenario characteristics, extending the
scenarios to test cases and optimizing the set of test cases. The relations between the scenarios and other
artefacts which are defined in Clause 5 will be used as an input to Clause 6, to evaluate whether the selected
scenarios are appropriate for the tested ADS feature. The test case generation is described in chapter 6.4.
The investigations to analyse the test cases concerning initialization of the test run and monitoring during
test execution are described in Clause 7. After test execution, the comparison of the initial specified and the
resulting test case, the evaluation of the resulting test case concerning physical principle and probability in
reality can be found in Clause 8. A detailed representation of the workflow described in this document can
be found in Figure 1.

4.2 Requirements for compliance
When claiming compliance with this document, each requirement shall be met unless a rationale is provided
demonstrating that the non-compliance is deemed acceptable, i.e. the corresponding objectives are still
achieved.
5 Evaluation of scenario characteristics
5.1 Purpose
In this clause the inputs and their connection to the scenario evaluation are described. The scenario
characteristics include scenarios and their relation to other artefacts, like ODD or requirements. The relation
of scenarios to functional requirements, technical requirements, ODD or test objectives can be direct
or indirect (e.g. the functional requirement is linked to ODD, and the scenario is linked to the functional
requirement, then the scenario is indirectly linked to the ODD). In this clause the inputs (from ISO 34502
and ISO 21448) are detailed with focus of scenario evaluation.
The scenarios can include, but are not limited to, reasonably foreseeable misuse and triggering conditions.
5.2 Set of scenarios
5.2.1 Objectives
Scenario-based verification and validation methods include an adequate representation or coverage of
relevant scenarios to effectively verify and validate an ADS as a specific in-vehicle information and control
system. The objective of 5.2 is to define and specify the set of scenarios that are required during scenario-
based verification and validation.
For detailed descriptions of the set of scenarios, see ISO 34502:2022, 4.4.
5.2.2 General
ISO 34502 describes a scenario-based approach of how to generate the set of scenarios (multiple scenario
abstraction levels possible) for safety test objectives and related safety requirements. This set of scenarios
can be extended to reflect the non-safety test objectives. When scenario is used in general in this document,
it could refer to a functional, abstract, logical or concrete scenario.
In case there is a general, pre-existing scenario set (e.g. a scenario database), the scenarios are analysed to
determine whether they fit to the defined ADS, ODD, and whether they are relevant concerning the safety
concept and the specified requirements.
There are a number of approaches for identifying scenarios to verify and validate ADS. For example,
scenarios can be identified based on:
a) analysing human driver behaviour, including evaluating naturalistic driving data;
b) analysing collision data of crash databases (e.g. collected by law enforcement, insurance companies);
c) analysing traffic patterns in specific ODD (e.g. by recording and analysing road user behaviour at
intersections);
d) analysing data collected from ADS’ sensors (e.g. accelerometer, camera, RADAR and global positioning
systems);
e) using especially configured measurement vehicle, onsite monitoring equipment, drone measurements,
etc. for collecting various traffic data (including other road users);
f) knowledge or experience acquired during ADS development;
g) synthetically generated scenarios from key parameter variations;
h) engineered scenarios based on functional safety requirements and SOTIF; and
i) using the selection of tags of ISO 34504 that apply for the ADS and the ODD under consideration.

Die ISO 34505:2025 liefert eine umfassende Methodologie zur Bewertung von Szenarien für automatisierte Fahrzeugsysteme. Der Umfang dieser Norm ist großzügig gestaltet, da sie sowohl die Evaluierung bestehender Szenarien als auch die Erweiterung dieser Szenarien zu Testfällen ermöglicht. Dies ist besonders relevant für die Entwicklung und Testung von automatisierten Fahrzeugsystemen, die auf Level 3 und höher klassifiziert sind, gemäß den Vorgaben von ISO/SAE PAS 22736. Ein herausragendes Merkmal der Norm ist die detaillierte Definition der erforderlichen Eigenschaften von Testfällen. Dazu gehören vereinheitlichte Identifikatoren, Prüfziele, Eingaben, Schritte, Plattformen und erwartete Ergebnisse. Diese standardisierten Vorgaben fördern eine einheitliche und nachvollziehbare Testmethodik, die für alle Akteure in der Branche von großer Bedeutung ist. Durch die Einführung von Methoden und Kriterien zur Bewertung von Testfällen (z. B. Häufigkeit, Kritikalität und Komplexität eines Szenarios) wird eine qualitativ hochwertige Evaluierung der automatisierten Fahrzeugsysteme gewährleistet. Ein weiterer bedeutender Aspekt der ISO 34505:2025 ist die Abdeckung funktionaler und technischer Anforderungen sowie die Berücksichtigung des Operationsbereichs (OD). Dies ermöglicht eine umfassende Analyse der einzelnen Testfälle und stellt sicher, dass die automatisierten Systeme den hohen Sicherheitsanforderungen genügen. Die Norm adressiert auch die Optimierung von priorisierten Testfall-Sets, was die Effizienz und Effektivität der Testprozesse erhöht. Darüber hinaus ist der Fokus der Norm auf die Sicherheit – sowohl die funktionale Sicherheit als auch die Sicherheit der beabsichtigten Funktionalität (SOTIF) – von zentraler Bedeutung. Dies zeigt, dass die Norm nicht nur Sicherheitsaspekte berücksichtigt, sondern auch anwendbar ist für nicht sicherheitsrelevante Testszenarien, was ihre Relevanz in der breiteren Testlandschaft erhöht. Die ISO 34505:2025 stellt somit ein unerlässliches Dokument dar, das die Standardisierung in der Prüfung automatisierter Fahrzeugsysteme fördert und zu einer erhöhten Sicherheit auf den Straßen beiträgt.
