- Autonomous driving is one of the key technologies for increasing road safetyand reducing traffic volumes. Therefore, science and industry are workingtogether on new innovative solutions in this field of technology. One importantcomponent in this context is the approval and testing of new solution concepts,with special focus on the ones for urban environments. Not only because ofthe high diversity of traffic situations, but also because of the close contactbetween vulnerable road users (VRU) and automated vehicles.In the course of this work, a novel approach for testing automated drivingfunctions and vehicle systems in urban environments is presented. The goal isto create a safe and valid environment in which the automated vehicle and theVRU can meet and interact. The basis is a highly realistic virtual model of acity center. The physical behavior of the vehicle and VRU is recorded usingmeasurement technology and transferred to the virtual city model.Based on representative urban traffic scenarios, the functionality of the urbantest field is investigated from various points of view. Thereby, the focus is onreal-time capability and the quality of interaction between the vehicle and theVRU.The investigations show that both the real-time capability and the interactionpossibilities could be demonstrated. Further, the developed methodologies aresuitable for real time applications.
