To address this, we have developed a comprehensive dataset composed of sensor data acquired in a real test track and reproduced in the laboratory for the same test scenarios. The provided dataset includes camera, radar, LiDAR, inertial measurement unit (IMU), and GPS data recorded under adverse weather conditions (rainy, night-time, and snowy conditions). We recorded test scenarios using objects of interest such as car, cyclist, truck and pedestrian -- some of which are inspired by EURONCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme). The sensor data generated in the laboratory is acquired by the execution of simulation-based tests in hardware-in-the-loop environment with the digital twin of each real test scenario. The dataset contains more than 2 hours of recording, which totals more than 280GB of data. Therefore, it is a valuable resource for researchers in the field of autonomous vehicles to test and improve their algorithms in adverse weather conditions, as well as explore the simulation-to-reality gap.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PolednaRewayFunkDrechsleretal.2023, author = {Poledna, Yuri and Reway, Fabio and Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Huber, Werner and Icking, Christian and Parente Ribeiro, Eduardo}, title = {An Open-Source High-Level Fusion Algorithm in ROS for Automated Driving Applications}, booktitle = {Proceedings: 2022 10th International Conference in Software Engineering Research and Innovation (CONISOFT 2022)}, editor = {Ju{\´a}rez-Ram{\´i}rez, Reyes and Fern{\´a}ndez y Fern{\´a}ndez, Carlos and Perez Gonzalez, Hector G. and Ram{\´i}rez-Noriega, Alan and Jim{\´e}nez, Samantha and Guerra-Garc{\´i}a, C{\´e}sar and Licea Sandoval, Guillermo}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Los Alamitos}, isbn = {978-1-6654-6126-9}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/CONISOFT55708.2022.00031}, pages = {174 -- 181}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @article{FunkDrechslerSharmaRewayetal.2022, author = {Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Sharma, Varun and Reway, Fabio and Sch{\"u}tz, Christoph and Huber, Werner}, title = {Dynamic Vehicle-in-the-Loop: A Novel Method for Testing Automated Driving Functions}, volume = {5}, pages = {12-05-04-0029}, journal = {SAE International Journal of Connected and Automated Vehicles}, number = {4}, publisher = {SAE International}, address = {Warrendale}, issn = {2574-0741}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.4271/12-05-04-0029}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In automated driving functions (ADF) testing, novel methods have been developed to allow the combination of hardware and simulation to ensure safety in usage even at an early stage of development. This article proposes an architecture to integrate an entire test vehicle—denominated Dynamic Vehicle-in-the-Loop (DynViL)—in a virtual environment. This approach enables the interaction of a real vehicle with virtual traffic participants. The vehicle is physically tested on an empty track, but connected to the CARLA simulator, in which virtual driving scenarios are created. The simulated environment is transmitted to the vehicle driving function which controls the real vehicle in reaction to the virtual objects perceived in simulation. Furthermore, the performance of the DynViL in different test scenarios is evaluated. The results show that the reproducibility of the tests with the DynViL is satisfactory. Furthermore, the results indicate that the deviation between simulation and DynViL variates according to the vehicle speed and the complexity of the scenario. Based on the performance of the DynViL in comparison to simulation, the DynViL can be implemented as a complementary test method to be added to the transition between hardware in the loop (HiL) and proving ground. In this test method, erratic or unexpected behavior generated by the driving function and controllers can be detected in the real vehicle dynamics in a risk-free manner.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PeintnerFunkDrechslerRewayetal.2021, author = {Peintner, Jakob and Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Reway, Fabio and Seifert, Georg and Huber, Werner and Riener, Andreas}, title = {Mixed Reality Environment for Complex Scenario Testing}, booktitle = {Tagungsband Mensch \& Computer 2021}, editor = {Schneegass, Stefan and Pfleging, Bastian and Kern, Dagmar}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-4503-8645-6}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1145/3473856.3474034}, pages = {605 -- 608}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FunkDrechslerSeifertPeintneretal.2022, author = {Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Seifert, Georg and Peintner, Jakob and Reway, Fabio and Riener, Andreas and Huber, Werner}, title = {How Simulation based Test Methods will substitute the Proving Ground Testing?}, booktitle = {2022 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {978-1-6654-8821-1}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/IV51971.2022.9827394}, pages = {903 -- 908}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @article{FunkDrechslerPeintnerRewayetal.2022, author = {Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Peintner, Jakob and Reway, Fabio and Seifert, Georg and Riener, Andreas and Huber, Werner}, title = {MiRE, A Mixed Reality Environment for Testing of Automated Driving Functions}, volume = {71}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology}, number = {4}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York}, issn = {0018-9545}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/TVT.2022.3160353}, pages = {3443 -- 3456}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PeintnerFunkDrechslerMangeretal.2022, author = {Peintner, Jakob and Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Manger, Carina and Seifert, Georg and Reway, Fabio and Huber, Werner and Riener, Andreas}, title = {Comparing Different Pedestrian Representations for Testing Automated Driving Functions in Mixed Reality Environments}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the International Conference on Vehicle Electronics and Safety (ICVES 2022)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {978-1-6654-7698-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/ICVES56941.2022.9986669}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RewayFunkDrechslerMurthyetal.2022, author = {Reway, Fabio and Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Murthy, Ravikiran and Poledna, Yuri and Huber, Werner and Icking, Christian}, title = {Simulation-based test methods with an automotive camera-in-the-loop for automated driving algorithms}, booktitle = {2022 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {978-1-6654-7095-7}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/ICECCME55909.2022.9988437}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RewayFunkDrechslerWachtelGranadoetal.2020, author = {Reway, Fabio and Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Wachtel Granado, Diogo and Huber, Werner}, title = {Validity Analysis of Simulation-based Testing concerning Free-space Detection in Autonomous Driving}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems}, publisher = {SciTePress}, address = {Set{\´u}bal}, isbn = {978-989-758-419-0}, issn = {2184-495X}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.5220/0009573705520558}, pages = {552 -- 558}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{NovickiNetoRewayPolednaetal.2025, author = {Novicki Neto, Leonardo and Reway, Fabio and Poledna, Yuri and Funk Drechsler, Maikol and Icking, Christian and Huber, Werner and Parente Ribeiro, Eduardo}, title = {TWICE dataset: digital twin of test scenarios in a controlled environment}, volume = {19}, journal = {International Journal of Vehicle Systems Modelling and Testing (IJVSMT)}, number = {2}, publisher = {Inderscience}, address = {Genf}, issn = {1745-6436}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1504/IJVSMT.2025.147353}, pages = {152 -- 170}, year = {2025}, language = {en} }
