From Simulation to Operation: Using Design Time Artifacts to Ensure the Safety of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems at Runtime

Advanced driver assistance systems and (semi-)autonomous mobility systems will arguably be the biggest disruption of our everyday life in the next couple of years. The development of such systems comes with legal and technical challenges: Product liability regulations impose high standards on manufacturers regarding the safe operation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). In the Automotive domain, sufficient safety has yet to be proven through extensive and expensive testing. As a consequence, car manufacturers try to move testing effort from the road to simulation. It is not clear, however, how results obtained from simulations transfer to the road. In this paper, we present an approach for leveraging simulation results during road tests. Our approach utilizes runtime monitors that are generated from specifications, test scenarios, and simulated components. These monitors can be used during road tests and during operation for identifying untested situations and for checking ...
