ARCHITECTURES, COMPONENTS, AND SYSTEMS FOR VALIDATION/SIMULATION OF CONNECTED AUTOMATED VEHICLES

For safety validation of connected automated road vehicles (cars, busses or trucks), the development and implementation of innovative mission oriented ECS systems are necessary to improve robustness and quality assurance. Identification of the failure risk for each part in the ECS value chain. The systems and components allow the identification and management of risks over the entire ECS automotive value chain players including semiconductors, subsystem and systems behavior. The focus of this special topic will be on component design, subsystem and system integration up to sensor fusion.

Proposals should cover some of the listed aspects but are not limited to:

• Architectures, components, sub-systems, simulation in complex environments enabling virtual development and validation for automated driving.
• Methods and tools to validate the models used in virtual validation
• Metrics for quality assurance for ECS for automated vehicles. Definitio
