Virtual testing of automated driving systems (ADS) has become an essential part of testing procedures for all automation levels. As ADS from automation level 3 and up are very complex, virtual testing for such systems is inevitable. The complexity of these levels lies in the modelling and calculation demand for the virtual environment which consists of roads, traffic, static and dynamic objects as well as the modelling of the car itself. For safety and performance analyses of ADS, the most important part is the modelling and consideration of road traffic participants. There is multiple traffic flow simulation software (TFSS) which are used to reproduce realistic traffic behavior and are integrated directly or over interfaces with vehicle simulation software (VSS). For these software environments, the possibility to manipulate traffic participants in a defined manner e.g. in the vicinity of the vehicle under test or implementing defined driver models for traffic vehicles is beneficial. In this paper, we present a software framework based on the external driver model interface provided by Vissim. This framework makes it possible to easily manipulate traffic participants for testing purposes of ADS.

在动态交通环境中测试自动驾驶系统的软件框架

自动驾驶系统 (ADS) 的虚拟测试已成为所有自动化级别测试程序的重要组成部分。由于自动化级别 3 及以上的 ADS 非常复杂，因此对此类系统进行虚拟测试是不可避免的。这些层次的复杂性在于对由道路、交通、静态和动态对象以及汽车本身的建模组成的虚拟环境的建模和计算需求。对于 ADS 的安全和性能分析，最重要的部分是道路交通参与者的建模和考虑。有多种交通流仿真软件（TFSS）用于再现真实的交通行为，并直接集成或通过与车辆仿真软件（VSS）的接口集成。对于这些软件环境，以定义的方式操纵交通参与者的可能性，例如在被测车辆附近或为交通车辆实施定义的驾驶员模型是有益的。在本文中，我们提出了一个基于 Vissim 提供的外部驱动程序模型接口的软件框架。该框架可以轻松操纵流量参与者以进行 ADS 测试。
