Analysis and Validation of Perception Sensor Models in an Integrated Vehicle and Environment Simulation

The number of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in future vehicle generations will increase steadily in order to support drivers by means of comfort-, safetyand ecology-functions. Along with the ascent of ADAS functions, the challenge for developers to prove the safety and reliability of the overall system increases. The risk for people and test equipment involved in potentially dangerous real world test scenarios and the great efforts required to achieve reproducible results in real driving tests make an alternative test method necessary.
