This can lead to the failure of driving and safety functions. To validate and increase the robustness of these, several adverse weather test methods have been introduced in recent years. The survey first gives an overview of the current traffic and accident analysis with a focus on adverse weather influences to assess the most relevant weather phenomena. Overall, rain and glare are the statistically most important adverse weather phenomena in terms of accidents. Heavy fog is rare but can cause very serious accidents. In a second step, meteorological knowledge is incorporated and the key environmental indicators for the respective weather conditions are determined, particularly taking the environmental sensor characteristics into account. Both sets of information are then utilized to provide a qualified overview of simulative and physical test methods used to reproduce critical adverse weather situations. These methods are employed to investigate the disturbance effects of inclement weather on sensors and to test the robustness of automated vehicles. The paper reveals that various approaches are used to reproduce weather effects and that test methods, each with different advantages and disadvantages, have been developed to varying degrees depending on the type of the weather phenomena. Overall, this review integrates perspectives from road safety research, meteorology, and testing methodologies to provide new insights into the validation of automated driving systems in challenging weather conditions.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SequeiraInderstXhikuetal.2025, author = {Sequeira, Gerald Joy and Inderst, Maximilian and Xhiku, Redjon and Lugner, Robert and Brandmeier, Thomas}, title = {Sigmoid-Based Method for Longitudinal Crash Pulse Prediction in Intelligent Vehicles}, booktitle = {2024 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety (ICVES)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {979-8-3503-8727-8}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/ICVES61986.2024.10927899}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{InderstLugnerBrandmeieretal.2023, author = {Inderst, Maximilian and Lugner, Robert and Brandmeier, Thomas and Mehrzed, Shaen and Sequeira, Gerald Joy and Griebeler, Marcelo}, title = {Definition of Requirements for the Temporal Accuracy of Inevitability Evaluation in Integral Pre-crash Systems}, booktitle = {FAST-Zero'23: 7th International Symposium on Future Active Safety Technology toward Zero Accidents -
