Testing advanced driver assistance systems for fault management with the VEHIL test facility

Abstract

This paper presents a methodological approach for validation of advanced driver assistance systems\n(ADASs), especially concerning fault management. Tools in this methodology are the unique\nVEhicle-Hardware-In-the-Loop (VEHIL) test facility and the associated simulation tool PRESCAN.\nWith VEHIL the development process and more specifically the validation phase of intelligent vehicles\ncan be carried out safer, cheaper, more manageable, and more reliable. In VEHIL a complete\nvehicle is tested in the simulation loop, such that the safety and reliability of an ADAS can be tested\nto great accuracy and reliability.
