PEGASUS Develops Method to Assess Highly Automated Driving Functions

摘要

The PEGASUS project, which completed its 42-month term in June 2019, can becredited with coming up with a widely accepted overall model for assessing andproving how safe an automated vehicle will be on public roads. We first reportedon the goals and progress of the project in the February 2017 Hansen Report.According to PEGASUS organizers, while the project did not solve everychallenge within the model, it was probably the first effort to successfully definethe whole picture. At the risk of gross oversimplification, the comprehensive plandescribes how to define AV test scenarios and reduce the number of them downto a manageable amount. It further defines which tests can be done in simulation,which can be done on proving grounds, and which must be performed on realroads. PEGASUS decided to use the OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVEstandards for simulation and parts of the proving ground tests.
