The creation and application of harmonized pre-crash scenarios from global traffic accident data (ESV)

The development and test of future Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) AD functions requires sophisticated data from pre-crash scenarios. As real-world traffic provides an infinite variety of scenarios and vehicles are usually sold in many markets, valuable simulation datasets from several countries seem indispensable. The paper describes how we combined the format of the Pre-Crash Matrix (PCM) with global accident data from IGLAD. The goal was to create harmonized pre-crash simulation files from real accidents coming from several countries/continents and to use them exemplarily within a field-of-view analysis for future ADAS.
