Data Framework
The SUNRISE Data Framework (DF) is a cloud application that serves as a federation layer to connect to external Scenario Databases (SCDBs). Although the SUNRISE DF is not a mandatory part of the SUNRISE Safety Assurance Framework (SAF), its application is highly recommended since it provides the following benefits:
- It offers 1 single portal to access a wide variety of scenario databases through standardized interfaces
- It guarantees data governance through user authentication and authorization
- It enhances efficiency, accuracy, and compliance of scenario selection processes
- It centralizes scenarios for various stakeholders (like certifying entities, Cooperative, Connected Automated Mobility (CCAM) developers, test engineers)
The position of the SUNRISE DF within the SUNRISE SAF, is shown in the figure above. In this position, it can be observed as a tool to enhance overall CCAM validation efficiency through:
- Centralized scenarios from multiple databases through standardized interfaces
- Streamlined scenario selection enabled by advanced querying
- Improved compliance of selected scenarios with validation criteria
- Integration and compatibility with virtual, hybrid and physical test environments
- Sophisticated results tracking and feedback
- Future expansion of connected databases
