An Efficient Evaluation Method for Longitudinal Driver Assistance Systems within a Consistent KPI based Development Process

One of the most commonly used advanced driver assistance system is adaptive cruise control. Although many cars are equipped with such a driver assistance system, the development is still based on subjective evaluation indices. The design of adaptive cruise control could be more powerful and reach more customer acceptance when a design process with specific values to ensure good driving characteristics is used. Such an objective based process is still state of the art of classic chassis development, but typically not used for advanced driver assistance systems.
