This chapter outlines the methodologies required to realise a comprehensive scenario-based approach for effective and efficient development and validation of complex, cooperative control functions in connected and automated driving. These methods are exemplified for platooning and are devised in the scope of Connecting Austria, the Austrian flagship project on automated driving and goods transport. The development and validation approach have first been implemented vertically in depths for the intersection use cases of Connecting Austria. The scenario-based approach includes

The systematic identification, collection and collocation of the relevant and representative traffic scenarios.

The modelling and simulation of the according traffic and vehicle control strategies.

The effectiveness assessment of the traffic and vehicle control strategies with the help of suitable key performance indicators.

The controlled iterative adaption to new situations and boundary conditions by steady extension of the operational design domain within an adaptive, learning framework.

The demonstration use case “intersection” is the most complex with respect to possible C-ITS, traffic and vehicle control actions. That way generality should be guaranteed, enabling a quick, horizontal extension to further use cases and scenarios, aiming to cover all relevant situations for platooning vehicles within their operational design domain. The application of all methods introduced here will be demonstrated in Chap. 9.
