Multiple questions arise concerning the development of such Active Safety systems, regarding sensors, traffic scenarios, responses, etc. To answer such questions TNO has developed a design and evaluation environment, called PreScan, in which the complete road situation can be simulated. The simulation environment is built up in four parts, Scenario, Sensor, Control System and Running Experiments. They are all explained and elaborated upon in a concrete example of Car-to-Car communication. The simulation environment has a number of benefits over real world testing, being the investigation of: phenomena independently, more complex scenarios and ‘unsafe’ scenarios, in a reproducible way. Finally, the introduction of a simulation environment in the development process will allow for a shorter launch time, because the initial design is improved. Introduction Road vehicles are becoming increasingly ‘smarter’ and safer as a result. Using sensors enables cars to ‘see’ danger before it happens and therefore anticipate what action to take. But what is it that the sensors should be observing and what are relevant traffic scenarios to test your system? How can the observations be translated into a response from the vehicle, what is the influ
