Summary

Regulatory consumer protection organizations like the New Car Assessment Programms (NCAPs) play an important role in the overall safety of modern vehicles. To assess the performance of active safety systems standardized test scenarios which are supposed to represent real world accidents are used today. The constantly increasing requirements and the goal of ensuring the robustness of those active safety systems lead to a vast amount of test scenarios. This trend is accompanied with the aim of testing even more complex scenarios. Also, upcoming automated driving systems will increase the test effort for new vehicles dramatically. Thus, it will hardly be possible in future to cover the required amount of testing solely by track tests. Therefore, new virtual assessment approaches to support real world activities will play an important role in the future.
