Mazda faced the challenge of complying with mandatory regulations for its intelligent speed assistance system to enable market access to 27 EU Member States. It approached TÜV SÜD to test its system performance in different EU countries according to (EU) 2021/1958.

TÜV SÜD managed the entire test execution process and developed a tailored test setup. This included Controller Area Network (CAN) data and video recorders, as well as a real-time evaluation algorithm, which allowed the flexible integration of various country-specific traffic regulations into the test process.

TÜV SÜD’s highly flexible and innovative approach streamlined the test process, validating the reliability of Mazda’s intelligent speed assist system for use on road infrastructures across all EU Member States, thereby increasing project efficiency and reducing time to market.

TÜV SÜD’s global test capabilities and innate market understanding have helped us to gain future insight into our product development, going beyond minimum regulatory requirements to ensure that our intelligent speed assist system operates seamlessly across all EU states and on every type of road infrastructure. Throughout the test process TÜV SÜD demonstrated their ability to match our individual business needs and test requirements. Their highly experienced test engineers demonstrated an in-depth understanding of how to optimise testing procedures to ensure compliance with multiple markets, thereby increasing our efficiency.
