Abstract

With Advanced Driver Assistance Systems becoming increasingly complex, testing methods must keep up to efficiently test and validate these systems. This paper focuses on a method of testing vision-based Advanced Driver Assistance Systems on a state-of-the-art hardware-in-the-loop test bench. Virtual driving scenarios are being used for functional testing. This paper suggests a framework where the driving scenarios are constructed using a stochastical approach. This allows the testing of the parameter combinations that might otherwise be forgotten or disregarded by a human creating the scenarios. The first step of this framework, a road generator, is introduced. Generic courses of roads are created using the Markov Chain and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods reconstructing real-life scenarios by analyzing map data.
