Abstract:Abstract-A large number of testing procedures have been developed to ensure vehicle safety in common and extreme driving situations. However, these conventional testing procedures are insufficient for testing autonomous vehicles. They have to handle unexpected scenarios with the same or less risk a human driver would take. Currently, safety related systems are not adequately tested, e.g. in collision avoidance scenarios with pedestrians. Examples are the change of pedestrian behaviour caused by interaction, en… Show more

“…Engineers could incorporate safety critical systems for performance testing in real world scenarios which would help accelerate the transition to autonomous vehicles. Problem of the approach in [6] is that the whole perception of the test person has to be stimulated. Computationally expensive rendering and realistic modelling is not possible or too costly in many cases.…”

“…The data explains the vehicle, why a pedestrian moves on this direction in a certain environment. Other advantages of this approach compared to the virtual reality solution [6] is that real environments can be incorporated and cost intensive computations for visualization of static obstacles (e.g. buildings) are not necessary.…”

The key point of this study is to collect data of pedestrian behavior, analyze the bevavior in different environments and with different target groups.…”

Currently, safety related systems are not adequately tested, e.g. in collision avoidance scenarios with pedestrians. Examples are the change of pedestrian behaviour caused by interaction, environmental influences and personal aspects, which cannot be tested in real environments. It is proposed to use augmented reality techniques. This method can be seen as a new (Augmented) Pedestrian in the Loop testing procedure.
