A Comprehensive Approach for Modeling, Simulation and Virtual Validation of Integrated Safety Systems

One of the main contributors to the massively rising complexity within automotive systems are the huge improvements made in the area of integrated safety systems. This enormous complexity stimulates the demand for methodologies supporting the efficient development of such systems. Within this work, a comprehensive approach for modeling, simulation and virtual validation of integrated safety systems is proposed. Based on the idea of co-simulation, a process is defined which integrates the development and parameterization of simulation models, the creation of a suitable co-simulation configuration and the according virtual validation of integrated safety systems. This helps the developer to get a comprehensive view about the whole integrated safety system.
