ABSTRACT
MOTIVATION More and more driver assistance functions are to intervene even without explicit actions of the driver in thc dynamics of a vehicle (Maurer 2006). As a consequence of this the rcliability of individual systems and a safe interaction with existing vehicle systems as well as with the driver must be ensured (Buld 2002). This growing complexity in the development process of driver assistance systems changes the requirements for the test and simulation tools (Ehmanns 2000). Thc availability and quality of simulation methods and the propcr process integration will become a necessary precondition and a contributing competitive factor (Bock 2008).
