Critical scenario identification for realistic testing of autonomous driving systems

Song, Qunying LU orcid ; Tan, Kaige ; Runeson, Per LU orcid and Persson, Stefan LU (2023) In Software Quality Journal 31(2). p.441-469
Abstract

Autonomous driving has become an important research area for road traffic, whereas testing of autonomous driving systems to ensure a safe and reliable operation remains an open challenge. Substantial real-world testing or massive driving data collection does not scale since the potential test scenarios in real-world traffic are infinite, and covering large shares of them in the test is impractical. Thus, critical ones have to be prioritized. We have developed an approach for critical test scenario identification and in this study, we implement the approach and validate it on two real autonomous driving systems from industry by integrating it into their tool-chain. Our main contribution in this work is the demonstration and validation of... (More)

Autonomous driving has become an important research area for road traffic, whereas testing of autonomous driving systems to ensure a safe and reliable operation remains an open challenge. Substantial real-world testing or massive driving data collection does not scale since the potential test scenarios in real-world traffic are infinite, and covering large shares of them in the test is impractical. Thus, critical ones have to be prioritized. We have developed an approach for critical test scenario identification and in this study, we implement the approach and validate it on two real autonomous driving systems from industry by integrating it into their tool-chain. Our main contribution in this work is the demonstration and validation of our approach for critical scenario identification for testing real autonomous driving systems.
