Method for testing a driver assistance system of a vehicle

A system for generating scenario data for the testing of a driver assistance system of a vehicle comprising:

• means for simulating a virtual traffic situation comprising the vehicle and at least one further road user, wherein a first road user can be controlled by a first user and wherein further road users not able to be controlled by users are automatically controlled, in particular by artificial intelligence or by logic-based control;
• a first, in particular at least visual, user interface for outputting a virtual environment of at least one first road user to the first user on the basis of the virtual traffic situation;
• and
• a second user interface for capturing inputs of the first user for controlling the at least one first road user in the virtual environment of the first road user, wherein the captured inputs of the first user and the resulting interaction of the at least one first road user with its virtual environment are factored into the simulating of the virtual traffic situation;
• means for operating the driver assistance system in a virtual environment of the vehicle on the basis of the simulated traffic situation, whereby the driver assistance system displays a driving behavior;
• means for capturing a scenario resulting from the driving behavior of the driver assistance system in the virtual environment of the vehicle;
• and
• means for determining a quality factor of the resulting scenario as a function of a predefined criterion, in particular a dangerousness of the resulting scenario;
• wherein the first or the second user interface, in particular a display, is further configured to output the quality factor to the user.
