1. A method for verifying an operation of an autonomous vehicle using a Quality Control verifying application, wherein a certain verifying scenario is differentiated for each of subsections included in a certain road section, and wherein each of criterion Probe Vehicle Data (PVD) for each of operation events including information on each of exact operations of the autonomous vehicle that should be performed for each of the subsections is stored in a database, and each of driving PVD of the autonomous vehicle is transmitted to a monitoring server, comprising steps of:
(a) the monitoring server acquiring a certain driving PVD from the autonomous vehicle, wherein the certain driving PVD is a driving PVD of the autonomous vehicle corresponding to the autonomous vehicle's execution of a certain operation event at a certain subsection among a plurality of subsections;
(b) the monitoring server (i) performing a process of acquiring first verification result information including information on whether execution of the autonomous vehicle is successful for the certain operation event, wherein the first verification result information is received from a user in the autonomous vehicle through the Quality Control verifying application, and (ii) performing a process of acquiring second verification result information including information on a result of determining whether the certain driving PVD matches with a certain criterion PVD that is a criterion PVD of the certain operation event by comparing the certain driving PVD with the certain criterion PVD;
(c) the monitoring server acquiring third verification result information that is final verification result information on execution of the autonomous vehicle for the certain operation event by determining whether the first verification result information matches with the second verification result information;
(d) the monitoring server acquiring traffic signal information from a plurality of traffic signal controllers installed in the certain road section by using at least one of (i) an indirect acquiring way that performs a process of allowing the autonomous vehicle to acquire the traffic signal information from the plurality of traffic signal controllers through a V2X telecommunication and a process of allowing the autonomous vehicle to transmit the traffic signal information and the driving PVD to the monitoring server at predetermined time intervals, or (ii) a direct acquiring way that performs a process of acquiring the traffic signal information from the traffic signal controllers through direct telecommunication;
(e) the monitoring server displaying or supporting another device to display, by referring the certain driving PVD, information on a location of the autonomous vehicle on a map in which the certain road section is included, and the monitoring server displaying or supporting another device to display at least one of (i) first access information that allows a monitoring manager to access vehicle status information or (ii) second access information that allows the monitoring manager to access verification status information; and
(f) in response to selecting the second access information by the monitoring manager, the monitoring server displaying or supporting another device to display the verification status information that includes at least part of information on the certain subsection, information on the certain operation event, the first verification result information, the second verification result information, and the third verification result information, thus evaluating a performance of controlling the autonomous vehicle and improving the autonomous vehicle.
