ISO 15622:2010Certification

This standard provides guidelines for the design, functionality, and performance evaluation of ACC systems, which are intended to assist drivers by automatically adjusting a vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead. The standard covers:

  • Basic Control Strategy: Defines how ACC systems should manage vehicle speed and spacing.

  • Minimum Functionality Requirements: Specifies the essential features ACC systems must have.

  • Driver Interface Elements: Outlines the necessary controls and indicators for driver interaction.

  • Diagnostics and Failure Response: Sets requirements for system diagnostics and appropriate reactions to failures.

ISO 15622:2010 Built on Principles That Drive Long-Term Success

  • Driver Assistance System Safety
    ISO 15622 focuses on intelligent transport systems, ensuring driver assistance functions—like Adaptive Cruise Control—are reliable and minimize risk.

  • Enhanced Road Safety
    The standard promotes safe interactions between vehicles and drivers, reducing the likelihood of accidents through advanced control systems.

  • Human-Centered Design
    It ensures that automated driving systems support, not replace, driver decisions—prioritizing usability, clarity, and human oversight.

  • Risk Mitigation
    By defining strict performance and response criteria, it helps minimize risks related to automatic vehicle control and driver alertness.

  • System Reliability
    Promotes consistency and reliability in the design and functioning of driver assistance systems, ensuring trust in real-world use.

  • Continuous Improvement
    Encourages ongoing testing, evaluation, and refinement of assistance systems to adapt to evolving safety and performance expectations.
