Abstract
The development of systems for intelligent functions is a very complex process, involving many technological components, requirements with respect to robustness and fail safety, time pressure, and different stakeholders. Simulation plays an important role in the development process and can support the development process from the early concept development, through testing and verification of components to the validation and evaluation of systems. Requirements and examples of simulation environments needed are discussed. Traffic flow simulation is used to show how it can be used in the development of the concept of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control. Next, simulation is applied for testing and verification of cooperative safety applications. Finally, simulation is applied for validation and evaluation of applications tested in a Field Operational Test.
