SDB

Scenario-based design and scenario-based testing has been established in the development process of automated vehicles. A scenario database is the core for traffic scenarios. The database includes all necessary scenarios for the ODD of an ADS. A common scenario database has not been yet established, but different implementations and workflows are currently applied.

The scenario database content covers different elements. The main element of a scenario database are scenarios. Scenarios are based on data, which covers the ODD and the specification of the ADS. It needs to be available and accessible. This data needs to be formatted according to the scenario database requirements, which allows it to be included into the database.

The quality and content of the data needs to be sufficient in order to fulfill the demand for designing and/or testing the ADS. These boundary conditions have to be ensured before a scenario database can be applied as a tool.

Based on the available data and resulting scenarios the scenario database is applicable. The overall tool chain of development process includes the concept of a scenario database. This tool chain focusses on the usage of the scenarios and the test cases derivation out of scenarios.
