Automated driving has the potential to disrupt the automotive industry. Realizing this technology will involve various industries and will lead to the emergence of uniform approaches, which will be adopted by multiple stakeholders from different areas. This includes standardization areas, such as communication, digital mapping, and minimum quality requirements. The intention of this work is to systematically analyze the standardization dynamics in the areas relevant to automated driving. Furthermore, the industry’s key actors are identified and their positioning regarding standards organizations and consortia is reviewed. Hereby, the specification of tests to ensure properly functioning systems constitutes one of the most essential standardization topics. The verification of automated driving systems will include standardized scenario simulations, which model rural and urban traffic situations. Since particularly pedestrians are exposed to malfunctioning automated driving systems, a realistic simulation of pedestrian behavior is crucial for the testing of such systems. Therefore, the second part of this work aims at the implementation of a model, which describes pedestrian behavior when interacting with cars in urban crossing scenarios. The driving simulator Virtual Test Drive and the pedestrian simulation framework MomenTUMv2 are used for this purpose.     «
