A method for generating high-value test scenarios for autonomous vehicles. The method includes identifying multiple scenarios, each associated with a location on a road network. An injury value may be determined for each of the scenarios, and the scenarios and their associated injury values may be stored in a database. A desired location for testing an autonomous vehicle may be selected. At least one of the scenarios associated with the desired location and having an associated injury value that exceeds a predetermined threshold may be identified in the database. A virtual reality test environment may then be generated for the autonomous vehicle based on the at least one scenario. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.

The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for testing a software program. The method of the present disclosure simulates, in a simulation process, a predetermined scenario on a test platform in a test scenario. The test platform in this simulation process generates output values based on input stimuli, and a dynamic adaption of the test scenario takes place during the simulation process based on the current state of the simulation process.

A vehicle security network design device may comprise: a level assigning unit for assigning an automobile safety integrity level (ASIL) which provides a risk management standard for each of a plurality of functional elements in a vehicle that is at least temporarily implemented by a processor; a calculation unit for calculating device's controllability with respect to each of the plurality of functional elements on the basis of a connection structure between the plurality of functional elements and a difference value of the ASIL; and a management unit for generating a risk analysis model of a plurality of functional elements.

A processor, responsive to a set of location or motion data describing one or more objects relative to a first, local frame of reference, generates a transformed set of location or motion data describing the one or more objects relative to a second, local frame of reference different than the first local frame of reference, such that the set of location or motion data and the transformed set of location or motion data relative to a global frame of reference are same. The processor also outputs the transformed set of location or motion data to a vehicle such that the vehicle performs control operations responsive thereto.

The present invention is a computer-implemented method for designing a drivetrain using computer aided engineering. The method comprises the steps of: a) receiving a selection of a certification test from a plurality of certification tests; b) receiving a parametric description of the drivetrain; c) receiving a selection of one or more analysis types appropriate for the selected certification test and the parametric description; d) providing a certification test model of the drivetrain based on the selected certification test, the parametric description, and the one or more analysis types; e) simulating performance of the drivetrain using the certification test model; and f) determining an indication of compliance of the drivetrain with the certification test based on the simulated performance.

A vehicle email notification system and method in which triggers are used to initiate the generation and transmission of email messages that provide diverse types of dynamic vehicle information to the owner or other authorized subscriber. The email notifications are triggered by different events, some of which are independent of the vehicle (e.g., a 30 day trigger to provide the subscriber with a monthly vehicle status report), and others of which occur at the vehicle, such as a mileage or low oil life trigger. Upon occurrence of a trigger, the notification system builds and sends to the subscriber an email message that contains the dynamic vehicle information and identifies any detected vehicle condition for which action is needed.

A test system and method for testing a coupled hybrid dynamic system in simulated motion along a path (242) includes a physical test rig (206) configured to test a physical component (208). A processor (30) is configured with modeled test data (218), a first virtual model portion and a second virtual model portion of the coupled hybrid dynamic system, the first virtual model portion (204), the second virtual model (202) portion and the physical component (80) comprising the coupled hybrid dynamic system. The processor (30) is configured to control the test rig (206) such that the component under test (208) responds to the second virtual model portion (202), that in turn receives a first input (272) comprising the modeled test data (218), a second input (216) being motion of the first virtual model portion (204) of the coupled hybrid dynamic system, a third input (214) being a control mode response from the test rig having (206) the physical component (208) under test and a fourth input (272) comprising guidance controls for the coupled hybrid dynamic system.
