How to Link Accident Data and Road Traffic Measurements to Enable ADAS/AS Simulation?

The progress of safety technologies, based on the continuous advances in vehicle crash worthiness, restraint systems and active safety functions made traffic safer than ever before. Latest developments heading from assisted (ADAS) to Automated Driving (AD), lead to more and more complex real-world situations to be handled, going from standard driving tasks up to critical situations, which may cause a collision. Therefore, throughout the development process of such systems, it becomes common to use simulation technologies in order to assess these systems in advance. To gain results out of the simulation, input data is required; typically, from various sources, so the requirements can be covered. Thus, the challenge of scoping with different input sources arises.
