This article is devoted to the issue of creating the concept of an automated system for simulating pedestrians on the road surface, intended for testing unmanned vehicles and active driver assistance systems. The article examines in detail the prerequisites for the creation of such a system and its relevance for Russia. The existing analogues of this system are demonstrated, their strengths and weaknesses are analyzed. A conceptual model of the system is proposed, its functional capabilities are described, the design of the main units and components of the system is presented. Two possible options for the operation of this system during testing are considered: at regulated and unregulated pedestrian crossings. Variants of test methods in accordance with the named options are proposed.
