Scenario databases can be applied for different steps along the V-model process. Especially for testing and validation of ADF a scenario database is a powerful tool. In order to apply a scenario database, a testing / validation concept needs to be available. Additionally a scenario database needs to be available, which meets the requirements. In a first step the available scenarios within the database needs to fit the testing requirements. An understanding of the database content is necessary.
Based on the ADF the ODD is defined. The infrastructure of interest needs to be derived out of the ODD. The infrastructure can be complex (e.g. intersections) and therefore might need to be described in detail. Different variations of the infrastructure needs to be tested. An overview on ODD based scenario definition is given in (Scholtes et al., 2021).
Main Question
Is the ODD of the ADF covered by the scenario database?
Sub-Questions
- Are enough scenarios available within the scenario database?
- Is the infrastructure of the ODD known and can be described in detail?
