Summary of the Dissertation

In his dissertation, doctoral candidate Thilo Braun focuses on the validation of automated driving functions. While automated driving holds great potential for greater safety, comfort, and mobility, the reliable testing of these systems—particularly in urban traffic—has not yet been adequately addressed.

In his work, Thilo Braun develops a comprehensive, maneuver-based scenario description that maps out all steps of the testing process: from the creation of relevant scenarios to the derivation of specific test cases and their execution. This unified approach contributes significantly to improving the efficiency and systematic nature of validation, thereby laying the foundation for the safe further development of automated driving functions.
