Following the definition of the test concept, the execution of the test starts. This question intends to cover the planning of individual tests. The test concept shall define which test tools or test environments should be used to assess the ADF in order to get a reasonable level of validation. In addition, the test concept can also include a time plan for the testing.
Additional information related to this question are provided for instance by UNECE (2021a), EU commission (2022), functional safety (ISO 26262-1-12, 2018) and SOTIF (ISO 21448, 2022). In particular the latter one is also of importance for the safe execution of the tests. Besides the references, the knowledge and experience of previous developed ADAS or ADF should be considered when the test execution concept is defined.
Main Question
Is a test concept for the development, certification / homologation, (internal and external) V&V of the ADF and its subcomponents available? (Test execution)
Alternative Questions:
- Does the concept define appropriate test tools / environments for the tests?
- Considering the purpose of test (e.g., homologation /certification of the ADF), is the required data identified?
- Does the test concept include an execution plan / time plan for the tests?
- Are all requested tests included in the concept?
- Is testing with different penetration rates considered at every traffic layer (from vehicle infrastructure up to network components)?
