Abstract

The goal of our approach is the model-based prediction of the effects of driver assistance systems. To achieve this we integrate models of a driver and a car within a simulation environment and face the problem of analysing the emergent effects of the resulting complex system with discrete, numeric and probabilistic components. In particular, it is difficult to assess the probability of rare events, though we are specifically interested in critical situations which will be infrequent for any reasonable system. For that purpose, we use a quantitative logic which enables us to specify criticality and other properties of simulation runs. An online evaluation of the logic permits us to define a procedure which guides the simulation towards critical situations and allows to estimate the risk connected with the introduction of the assistance system.

The research reported here has been mainly performed in the project IMoST which is funded by the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxonia.
