QUADRIS is the short name for "Improved quantitative driver behaviour models and safety assessment methods for ADAS and AD", the most recent project in SAFER’s portfolio. It’s the third project in a sequence of SAFER-associated projects after QUADRA and QUADRAE.
For efficient development of advanced driver support systems and self-driving cars, it is necessary to be able to assess their potential safety benefit during development. QUADRIS should improve three parts of the simulation-based process used for such assessments:
To develop methods that ensure that the collisions simulated are representative.
To develop a validated driver model for run-off-road accidents.
To expand the driver modelling so that it also includes self-driving cars in the form of so-called reference-driver models.
Expected results and effects
The ability to perform safe, fast and accurate safety benefit assessments for ADAS and AD during development will be essential for the Swedish automotive industry to stay competitive, even more so when automated driving becomes a key determinant of brand success and competitiveness.
The project will run for four years, and the work is centred around the three doctoral students who will carry out most of the work. This includes both data collection, building simulation structures and modelling to the extent needed to meet the goals within each work package.
Vinnova funds the research with 8 682 000 SEK and the project partners involved are Chalmers University, AB Volvo, Autoliv, VTI and Volvo Cars. The project will be concluded in March 2024.
