Test Automation – From Virtual Scenario Creation to Real-world Testing

Abstract

As advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are continuously upgrading, the testing standards, descriptions are evolving as well. The border disappears more and more between simulation and real-world testing. For more accurate repeatable scenarios we need a new method, which helps to make faster the process of scenario creation. The result for this would be the connection of simulated scenarios and real test equipment. Our result includes several components such as HD maps, industrial simulation software, OpenSCENARIO compatibility, MATLAB programming, AB Dynamics software and test equipment. With HD maps and OpenSCENARIO compatible simulation software we can create GPS accurate scenarios. Then, the own developed MATLAB program can convert the OpenSCENARIO file into a new format, which is readable by AB Dynamics software. After this process the last step is the real-world testing with AB Dynamics test equipment.
