Reproducible transverse dynamics vehicle evaluation in the double lane change

In automotive companies, designing the vehicle dynamics to be customer-oriented with the help of road trials is largely the responsibility of trained professional drivers. A driver model that corresponds to an average — and therefore customer-relevant — driver presents an opportunity to evaluate the vehicle in an objective and reproducible way. This vehicle evaluation was developed at Volkswagen in close cooperation with the Institute for Vehicle Technology at Technical University Braunschweig (Germany).
