Prevailing automotive development focus shifts towards passenger-centric development of vehicle systems. Comparative to autonomous driving development, the challenge evolves to describe all relevant driving situations with the necessary information and context to be able to develop and optimize vehicle systems to actual driving situations. The situational description or scenario, i.e., context or ambience in which a vehicle is located, represents a fundamental factor in consideration of system behavior and respective system optimization opportunities. The challenge to solve the respective automotive engineering problems for nonlinear multidimensional parameter spaces or mixed integer classification problems is to describe and limit the possible solution space by suitable methodologies. Conventional methods prove inadequate solution as they can only be applied with significant financial resources and engineering time efforts, as known by autonomous driving system development.
