   One of the great challenges for the release of automated vehicles is the verification and evaluation of their cognitive skills. Therefore, Vehicle-in-the-loop testing provides an adequate tool, combining real test drives with simulations. In this paper we present our innovative Vehicle-in-the-loop framework: First, a marker-based head tracking is presented, which is able to track the driver’s head in presence of vehicle’s movement and illumination influences. Second, we present our realization based on the Open-Source framework ROS with an exemplary coupling to the professional simulation tool CarMaker. Finally, we evaluate our approach in different driving scenarios.

5. Semivirtual simulations for the evaluation of vision-based ADASInfoDetails

   The design and development process of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is divided into different phases, where the algorithms are implemented as a model, then as software and finally as hardware. Since it is unfeasable to simulate all possible driving situations for environmental perception and interpretation algorithms, there is still a need for expensive and time-consuming real test drives of thousands of kilometers. Therefore we present a novel approach for testing and evaluation of vision-based ADAS, where reliable simulations are fused with recorded data from test drives to provide a task-specific reference model. This approach provides ground truth with much higher reliability and reproducability than real test drives and authenticity than using pure simulations and can be applied already in early steps of the design process. We illustrate the effectiveness of our approach by testing a vision-based collision mitigation system on recordings of a german highway.

6. New test method for reproducible real-time tests of ADAS ECUs: “Vehicle-in-the-Loop” connects real-world vehicles with the virtual worldInfoDetails

   Modern vehicles act more and more autonomously. While in the early years of driver assistance systems parking aids were only available in premium-class vehicles and initially provided drivers only with acoustic help in maneuvering a vehicle into a parking space, the evolutionary automatic parking assistance system today is available even in medium-sized vehicles. The simple cruise control evolved into adaptive cruise control (ACC); the automatic emergency-brake-assist function is an extension of ACC. Lane change, intersection and emergency-steer-assist are additional electronic “co-drivers” intended to make driving safer.
