SECURING SIMULATION DATA QUALITY
FOR VIRTUAL VALIDATION AND PRODUCT
CERTIFICATION
As the automotive and road transportation industry
advances toward highly automated and connected mobility,
virtual validation and product certification are becoming
essential elements of the development process. With
simulation increasingly replacing physical testing, the
demand for accurate, interoperable, and traceable
simulation data is more crucial than ever.
This is where the ENVITED-X Data Space comes in - a
sovereign, decentralized infrastructure initiated by the
ENVITED research cluster under ASCS. It enables secure,
standards-based
collaboration
across
organizational
boundaries, ensuring that simulation data can serve as
trusted evidence for both validation and certification.
Traceability & Access Control
All data transactions are traceable, with clear
usage rights and access rules. Participants
retain control over their data while ensuring
secure
sharing
and
transparent
documentation of its lifecycle.
Governance
ENVITED-X operates under a federated
governance model. Roles, responsibilities,
and trust mechanisms are clearly defined allowing for transparent, scalable, and
democratic ecosystem growth.
Join ENVITED-X Data Space to co-create a trusted
simulation ecosystem - where shared data quality,
cross-industry collaboration, and digital trust unlock the
next era of virtual validation and certification.
KEY ENABLERS OF THE
ENVITED-X DATA SPACE
Digital Identities
Every participant and asset in the data space
is uniquely identifiable. Using verified digital
credentials and decentralized identity
management, ENVITED-X ensures secure,
trustworthy collaboration with full data
ownership.

Domain-Specific Metadata
Standardized metadata models - based on
ontologies and SHACL shapes - enable
consistent description, searchability, and
compatibility of simulation assets such as
maps, scenarios, 3D environments, sensor
models, ...
Quality Checks & Labels
Validation tools (e.g. ASAM OpenX Quality
Checker) assess simulation artifacts for
format, content, and compliance. Quality
labels help users quickly identify simulation
readiness and reusability.
