This report discusses the potential uses of in-use vehicle data to generate aggregated data to calculate Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs) and track safety performance of Automated Vehicles (AVs) throughout their deployment lifetime. The two primary benefits of collecting this data are to provide a feedback loop to AV Manufacturers and Operators to improve their safety performance as well as compare the safety of AVs more broadly against conventional driving and other transport modes. This work identifies a set of SPIs that can be recorded using in-vehicle data and other available data sets that can form the basis of a monitoring process that can be improved over time. It also discusses how the likely data sets should be processed and analysed to provide fair and accurate comparisons to conventional driving. Based on this work, a high-level process for outcome reporting by an In-Use Regulator has been proposed.
