Development of a driver information and warning system with vehicle hardware-in-the-loop simulations

This paper presents a new method for the design and validation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs). With vehicle hardware-in-the-loop (VeHIL) simulations the development process, and more specifically the validation phase, of intelligent vehicles is carried out safer, cheaper, and more manageable. In the VeHIL laboratory a full-scale...

Traffic modelling validation of advanced driver assistance systems

This paper presents a microscopic traffic model for the validation of advanced driver assistance systems. This model describes single-lane traffic and is calibrated with data from a field operational test. To illustrate the use of the model, a Monte Carlo simulation of single-lane traffic scenarios is executed with application to cooperative...

Experimental evaluation of a communication based cooperative driving algorithm

This paper presents a cooperative longitudinal control system for a cluster of vehicles using an environment sensor (radar) and vehicle-to-vehicle communication. The controller computes a desired acceleration that is realized by a lower-level control loop to obtain a smooth and safe traffic flow in a string of vehicles. State information from...

Adaptive importance sampling for probabilistic validation of advanced driver assistance systems

We present an approach for validation of advanced driver assistance systems, based on randomized algorithms.
