Abstract
Autonomous vehicle safety evaluation through a high-fidelity simulation approach
Highlights
Development of autonomous vehicles is one of the top trends in the automotive industry and the technology has been evolved to make them safer
We present a simulation approach for safety evaluation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) shuttle, iseAuto, currently operating at the Tallinn University of Technology campus
We focus on the utilization of a highfidelity simulator for an AV shuttle at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), Estonia
Summary
Development of autonomous vehicles is one of the top trends in the automotive industry and the technology has been evolved to make them safer. The first prototype development was a joint venture with TalTech and the local industry Silberauto [16] This shuttle is controlled by Autoware [17], a Robotic Operating System (ROS) based platform for self-driving vehicles. Among different modern AV simulators such as CARLA [18], LGSVL (in 2021 the name was changed to SVL) [19] and Gazebo, we opted for SVL to be our simulator due to its compatibility with our control software (Autoware) and our terrain generation platform Unity. Another reason was to create different scenarios and perform software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulation by connecting Autoware with SVL. This enables us to find a better sensor configuration and settings in addition to the verification of the decision-making system that leads to safety assessment
