Introduction

2

Research Questions

• How to efficiently test cooperative and

automated functions in vehicles with

sufficient coverage?

• How do cooperative behavior influence

testing ?

• How to evaluate the effect of cooperative

and automated functions on the transport

system level ?

3

Objectives

• Develop methods and scenarios to achieve

sufficient test coverage by simulations

• Develop test environment on a traffic

simulator with integration to the driving

simulators

• Selecting test scenarios/cases that ensure

functional safety on the transport system

level

4

Cooperative Functions

5

• a function where controlling of a vehicle is

not only consider data from its own sensors

and actuators, but also depends on

information from other element in the

transport system through communication.

Testing

6

• Model-based Testing

• Field Operational Test

• Simulations

• Testbeds
