Opportunities for the Scenario-in-the-Loop (SciL) SimulationConstruction of Complex Test Scenarios

Details of the modules

23

Simulation Software as core componentConstruction of Complex Test Scenarios

Details of the modules

The entire process is controlled by a simulation software which runs separately from the vehicle, offboard in the control tower. During the testthe software can recalculate the scenario in real-time which enhance the reproducibility.

Potential Candidates are the following software:

• dSpace GmbH: ASM Traffic

• TASS International: PreScan

• VIRES GmbH: Virtual Test Drive (VTD)

• IPG Automotive GmbH: CarMaker

Inputs of the SciL concept

Construction of Complex Test Scenarios

The software has two main inputs, the precise description of the real test track in a 3D software environment, and the localization data from the VUT (Vehicle Under Test).

Track

Localization

• Generate point clouds with surveying of the track

• Provide open format description of the road networks and test modules (like OpenDRIVE®)

• Provide 3D models for vehicle simulation softwares• The virtual representation of the moving

tested vehicle in the simulation software is registered with high precision inertial satellite sensor (INS) localization unit

• INS is a combination of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and DifferentialGPS/GNSS or RTK correction

Outputs of the SciL concept

Construction of Complex Test Scenarios

The software can calculate the trajectory and timing of the disturbance targets, control the environmental elements and sending information about non real participant of the scenario.

Movable Objects and Disturbances

• Vulnerable road users dummies like adult and children pedestrians or cyclists

• Soft vehicle targets like Global Vehicle Targets (GVT) with GPS guided platforms

• Environmental elements like traffic signs, rain machine, mirroring surfaces, street lights

Virtual Objects andSensor Models

• V2X messages about other road users, road and weather conditions

• Virtual presence of additionalparticipants
