Abstract

For the safety of highly automated driving it is essential to identify critical situations. The possible changes over time of a given situation have to be taken into account when dealing with criticality. In this paper, a method to generate trajectories with polynomials is considered. Thus, the trajectories can be tested and characterized analytically. With this approach it is possible to calculate a huge amount of feasible outcomes of a driving situation efficiently and therefore the criticality of the situation can be evaluated.
