Virtual X-in-the-Loop (XiL) environments are gaining significant importance in the test of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS). In order to derive reliable test results, credibility of XiL environments must be evaluated using suitable methods for XiL validation. This typically involves a back-to-back comparison to reference proving ground (PG) tests. Due to uncertainties inherent to PG and XiL, this validation requires the analysis of multiple test executions. Since this may not always be feasible with limited data availability, the authors define plausibilization as a preliminary step towards validation, comparing two single test executions in PG and XiL. A plausibilization method is presented, combining the evaluation of pass/fail criteria (PFC) and scenario distance measures. Finally, the application of the method in an ADAS series development project by evaluating three example Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) scenarios confirms that this is a reasonable plausibilization approach. Furthermore, it is shown that the method can be adjusted in a flexible way to meet requirements from different automation levels, systems or scenarios.
