Validation of Vehicle-to-Infrastructure scenarios based on the X-in-the-Loop-approach

Nowadays, the validation of automated driving consumes a lot of resources. A flexible X-in-the-Loop validation can improve efficiency. This publication investigates Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) to support the realization of fully automated driving. The generation of tests, as well as the measurements and the feedback loop to requirements and stakeholder needs, are shown for simulation and hardware tests. The connected systems of V2I result in specific challenges, which need to be addressed in the validation. This paper methodically supports the validation of this so-called System of Systems by focusing on criteria for a semi-automated validation process for different maturities of validation environments.
