This research addresses urgent challenges in high confidence testing of automotive systems due to on-going and anticipated introduction of advanced, connected, and autonomous vehicle technologies. The development of a tool chain for high confidence testing, validation, and verification of advanced, connected, and autonomous vehicles is pursued to support the introduction of such vehicles into mass production. The development of such tools is based on the research into maneuver and data optimization to determine test trajectories and scenarios for vehicle testing.
The objectives of this project are to develop theories, methods, and novel tools for generating and optimizing test trajectories and data inputs that can effectively and efficiently uncover faults in both physical and cyber domains in future automotive vehicles.
