Test Scenario Development Process and Software-in-the-Loop Testing for Automated Driving Systems

Abstract Details

2019, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are the driverless vehicles that are made to operate on their own with less or no human engagements. These safety-critical systems or features comprises of adaptive cruise control (ACC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Emergency Lane Keep (ELK), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Collision Avoidance System (CAS) and many more. For these systems to work properly in diverse operational domains such as rain, snow, freeway, urban, roads, etc., system safety is paramount. There is a need for a set of test cases/scenarios that an AV might encounter while operating on public or private roads. This project develops a library of scenarios from customer-based requirements following Euro-NCAP protocols or Voyage’s OAS for testing systems like AEB, ELK, LKA, ACC in various urban scenarios. Apart from these, several other scenarios are developed from studies in the literature and performing brainstorming sessions. The customer requirements to test an Automated Driving System (ADS) are analyzed, and the appropriate test scenarios meeting those requirements are developed, selected, and simulated on a virtual platform. The technique of Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) that has been accepted and frequently employed under the ISO 26262 V framework is used to estimate the risk of ADS failures. Finally, in the last phase, a strategy is proposed to automate the overall scenario testing process to make the testing less cumbersome. This project follows a systematic approach, according to NHTSA’s framework for ADAS testable cases and scenarios.
