IAMTS (International Alliance for Mobility Testing and Standardization)

March 2019
Authors: Dr. Joachim Taiber, CTO International Transportation Innovation Center (ITIC) and CEO Taiber Group, Liujun Zhang, Executive Assistant International Projects TÜV SÜD Auto Service GmbH, Business Unit Automotive

Excerpt: Testing vehicles for SAE Automation Level 4 and 5 requires a new approach how the vehicles are being tested because the responsibility to control the vehicle is handed over from a human being to a machine. The key challenge is to replicate Operational Design Domains (ODD’s) in physical testbeds (whether in closed or open test environments) that fit to the driving capabilities of the Automated Driving System (ADS) to be tested. In order to simulate a specific ODD in a virtual environment, it is important to capture data from the real world environment being simulated such as road or building information in sufficient precision.
