The adoption of simulation is critical to reducing development time and enhancing system robustness for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Automotive companies typically have an abundance of real data recorded from a vehicle which is suitable for open-loop simulations. However, recorded data is often not suitable to test closed-loop control systems since the recorded data cannot react to changes in vehicle movement. This paper introduces a methodology to create virtual driving scenarios from recorded vehicle data to enable closed-loop simulation. This methodology is applied to test a lane centering application. A lane centering application helps a driver control steering to stay in the current lane and control acceleration and braking to maintain a set speed or to follow a preceding vehicle. The driver’s vehicle is referred to as the ego vehicle. Other vehicles on the road are referred to as target vehicles.
