What matters is giving simulation and test results a context

The comprehensive documentation of results obtained during the verification and validation of autonomous driving functions is becoming an increasing challenge for vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. File Directories and proprietary data silos based on vendor-specific tools cannot be a solution in the long-term. Required is a standardized platform for test data management that can help to efficiently cope with the manifold proof obligations emerging due to increasing safety and legal regulations. ASAM ODS is a proven standard that can be used to implement such a platform.

An overall approach to test data management for verification, validation and homologation of vehicles

Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers need sophisticated tool chains for the verification and validation of new driveline technologies and automated driving functions. These tool chains should allow the integration of tools from different vendors. Each individual tool in the chain needs access to a specific set of annotated data. This is particularly true when it comes to safety argumentation and homologation of vehicle functions.
