Application of an ontology for the systematic generation of evaluations for autonomous driving functions

Context

Future innovations in the automotive industry will focus on automated driving and highly networked communication. Virtualization solutions are increasingly being used to adequately test and validate these technologies. As part of a project with the FZI, we are investigating how an ontology can be used to create evaluations for highly automated driving functions (HAF). An existing ontology is to be used and expanded for this purpose. The developed ontology will then be used to automatically derive evaluation criteria and test cases. Suitable approaches are to be developed within the scope of the position.

Tasks

• Familiarization with the concept of an ontology and the existing methods for testing automated systems.
• Extension of the existing ontology
• Determination of methodologies for the design of tests and evaluation criteria
• Implementation of the developed method in the test automation tool.

Prerequisites

• Interest in driver assistance systems
• Programming experience and interest in the concept of an ontology
• Very good knowledge of German or English
• Ability to work independently, motivation and commitment
