Presimulation-Based Reduction of Testing Efforts and Scenarios for Validating Highly Automated Vehicles

AutomatisiertesFahren

Context

Future innovations in the automotive industry are centered around automated driving. To adequately test and validate these technologies, virtualization solutions are increasingly being used. The approval and validation of highly automated driving functions present new challenges for regulatory agencies and vehicle manufacturers. As part of a project with the FZI, the goal is to investigate which set of parameters is required for a logical test scenario.

Responsibilities

  • During your time at FZI, you will be part of a closely coordinated team and will work in the field of data-driven validation of automated driving functions.
  • Your primary focus will be on selecting parameters for a logical test scenario to validate highly automated driving.
  • You will be able to conceptualize, design, and implement approaches and methods on your own and execute them in your own test environment.
  • First, you will perform a physical and logical reduction of test cases and test efforts—where possible, this will be done without significant testing effort based on logical relationships.
  • You will then generate measurements using a virtual test instance, analyze them, and incorporate them into an approach.
  • Finally, you’ll compare your approach with other existing methods and integrate it into the overall concept.
  • The role includes both theoretical and practical elements, ensuring that your day-to-day work is varied and flexible.

Requirements

  • You have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering and information technology or a related degree program.
  • You are interested in testing highly automated driving functions.
  • You enjoy working in a young and motivated team.
  • You are proficient in the programming languages Python and/or MATLAB.
  • You demonstrate an above-average level of initiative and work in a careful, conscientious manner.
  • You have very strong strategic and communication skills, as well as media sensitivity.
  • You have very good written and spoken German or English skills.
