Evaluation of Automated Road Vehicles

Book cover Road Vehicle Automation

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mobility ((LNMOB))

Abstract

In the past years various partially automated driving functions have been introduced on the market. More advanced functions are currently in research. By means of these functions partly automated driving in specific driving situations is already realized, e.g. a traffic jam assist performs longitudinal and lateral control at low speeds. Besides the technical challenges to realize automated driving in complex driving situations, e.g. intersection areas, new approaches to evaluate these functions under different driving conditions are necessary, in order to assess the benefits and identify potential weaknesses. In this context, this chapter describes a systematic approach to evaluate road vehicles with automated driving functions. The presented approach is divided into a technical, a user-related and an impact evaluation.
