Efficiently Creating Realistic Crash Scenarios Using RoadRunner

The development of advanced driver assistance systems and highly automated driving functions will play a crucial role in reducing the number of people killed and severely injured in traffic accidents in the future. In addition to generic scenarios, scenarios derived from naturalistic driving studies, field operational tests, and simulator studies, real-world accident scenarios are important test cases during the development, verification, and validation of such functions. The GIDAS-PCM database is the biggest database for pre-crash scenarios in the world, with in-depth information that is collected immediately after the accident and directly at the accident scene. Converting GIDAS-PCM cases into OpenSCENARIO^® and OpenDRIVE^® and further enriching the data with GIDAS information provides valuable and easy to use test cases (especially “edge cases”) for a large amount of simulation environments.
