This study presents a new virtual evaluation approach of preventive safety applications and advanced driver assistance functions. The approach identifies the worst-case scenarios for a given advanced driver assistance function, AEB system in this study, based on field operational tests (FOT) [safety pilot model deployment (SPMD), in this study]. The authors begin with a description of the studied AEB system and a synthesis of the most relevant tests scenarios. Then, they model the distribution of each test parameter retrieved from the SPMD database by applying two estimation methods (kernel method and expectation-maximisation algorithm). A comparison was made between the two methods to choose the best one. These distributions are then sampled using the proposed sampling strategy based on Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. Then, the idea is to take the samples of each parameter retrieved with this sampler, simulate them on a vehicular software simulator (PreScan) and to get their simulation results. For each test and in case of impact, a proportional score to the speed of impact reduction is attributed. Finally, a risk classification is done based on the scoring results which allows to recover high and very high-risk cases to build a set of worst-case scenarios.
