Abstract:

This paper presents a new approach for the test of automotive sensor systems in rain. The approach is based on an indoor test method, which helps to save test kilometers and test effort. For the activation of safety systems detailed information about the vehicles environment is necessary. Laser scanners provide precise information about the environment and a high angular resolution in contrast to radar sensors [1]. The performance of laser scanners depends on their local environment, because of the attenuation of the ambient atmosphere, precipitation and on the reflectivity of objects. False measurements in the field of vehicle safety can result in severe injury or death, so high reliability is essential. For this purpose a theoretical model is developed in order to determine the sensor behavior. Subsequently, a rain simulator is constructed to validate the theoretical model. Furthermore the developed rain simulator is validated by comparison with real rain. Based on determined rain disturbances benchmark tests of different sensor systems and algorithm approaches can be performed.
