The SINUS (Safety Functions in Future Complex Communication Situations) project aims to improve the road safety of connected and automated vehicles. Connected vehicles are vehicles equipped with V2X communication, which enables them to communicate with each other. In addition, V2X communication can enable cooperative driving in automated vehicles. Connected and automated vehicles will improve road safety, efficiency, and comfort through increased sensor information.
Impulse partner S.E.A. is helping to integrate the specific requirements and characteristics of V2X test systems into SINUS. In addition, S.E.A. is defining the requirements for testing V2X-based driver assistance systems. To increase the reliability of these V2X-based cooperative driving applications, a novel software and hardware-in-the-loop simulation tool for V2X testing is being developed in SINUS. This V2X test tool provides a simulation environment that enables the implementation, testing and evaluation of complex cooperative driving use cases. Such a simulation environment also allows the testing of potential special cases, so-called corner cases, for advanced V2X applications that are difficult to test in real life. Thus, SINUS will provide a test environment for devices implementing innovative V2X-based applications, so-called Day3+ applications, such as cooperative driving applications. Such a test environment offers the possibility to test these systems thoroughly and reproducibly before expensive and, due to their complexity, hardly realizable field tests must be performed for such applications.
