Abstract :
This paper presents the tools for design and validation of pre-crash systems: the software tool PRE-crash SCenario ANalyzer (PRESCAN) and the VEhicle-Hardware-In-the-Loop (VEHIL) facility. PRESCAN allows to investigate a pre-crash scenario in simulation. This scenario can then be compared with tests performed in the VEHIL facility for validation of the real sensor and controller of the pre-crash system. Using PRESCAN and VEHIL the development process and more specifically the validation of intelligent vehicles can be carried out safer, cheaper, and more reliable.
