COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR TERMINATING A SCENARIO-BASED TEST PROCESS OF A DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010210 titled 'COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR TERMINATING A SCENARIO-BASED TEST PROCESS OF A DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The computer-implemented method described in the patent application is for terminating a test process of a driver assistance system. The test process involves a cycle and includes determining critical test cases and their parameter combinations. The method involves the following steps:

  • Performing at least one test of the driver assistance system after each iteration of the cycle and determining a set of critical test cases.
  • Establishing a distance between a first set of critical test cases in the current iteration and a second set of critical test cases from the previous iteration or a predefined set of critical test cases.
  • Terminating or continuing the cycle of the test process based on the difference between the distance between the first set and the second set and a preset limit.

Bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

  • The method terminates a scenario-based test process of a driver assistance system.
  • It involves performing tests and determining critical test cases after each iteration of the test cycle.
  • The method calculates the distance between the current set of critical test cases and the previous set or a predefined set.
  • The test process is terminated or continued based on the difference between the calculated distance and a preset limit.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for testing and evaluating the performance of driver assistance systems.
  • It can be used by manufacturers to ensure the safety and reliability of their driver assistance systems.
  • The method can also be utilized by regulatory bodies to verify compliance with safety standards.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method provides a systematic approach to terminate a test process based on the difference between critical test cases in different iterations.
  • It helps in identifying when a driver assistance system has reached a satisfactory level of performance and can be considered for production or deployment.
  • The technology addresses the challenge of efficiently managing and terminating test processes in a scenario-based testing environment.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method improves the efficiency of testing driver assistance systems by terminating the test process when a predefined limit is reached.
  • It reduces the time and resources required for testing by focusing on critical test cases.
  • The technology ensures that driver assistance systems meet safety standards and perform reliably in real-world scenarios.


Original Abstract Submitted

a computer-implemented method provides for terminating a scenario-based test process of a driver assistance system. the test process comprises a cycle and includes determining critical test cases and parameter combinations thereof. the method includes: performing at least one test of the driver assistance system after each iteration n of the cycle and determining a set of critical test cases; establishing, on that basis, a distance between a first set of critical test cases in the iteration n and a second set of critical test cases from the iteration n−1 or a distance between the first set of critical test cases in the iteration n and a predefined set of critical test cases; and terminating or continuing the cycle of the test process on the basis of a difference between the distance between the first set and the second set and a preset limit.
