A Reproducible Evaluation Method for Intelligent-Driving Longitudinal Control Under Complex Weather Through Operational Design Domain Parameter Perturbation

Complex weather degrades both perception reliability and tire–road adhesion, thereby reducing the safety margin and responsiveness of intelligent driving longitudinal control. This study proposes a reproducible evaluation method for adverse weather operational design domains based on parameter perturbation testing and comprehensive assessment. Snow, fog, and rain are graded using standard quantitative thresholds and are coupled with road slipperiness to construct a weather–road state set. A mechanism-oriented indicator system, a combined subjective–objective weighting strategy, and a multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model are then used to generate quantitative capability scores. The method is validated on a co-simulation framework integrating vehicle–sensor simulation, a driving simulator, and a digital-twin testing environment using representative autonomous emergency braking scenarios. Results show that increasing weather severity, decreasing road adhesion, and higher initial speed reduce the post-braking safety margin and prolong collision-response time. The proposed method differentiates performance across weather–road states and provides quantitative support for test-coverage planning and capability boundary calibration in adverse weather operational design domains.

Abstract

Complex weather degrades both perception reliability and tire–road adhesion, thereby reducing the safety margin and responsiveness of intelligent driving longitudinal control. This study proposes a reproducible evaluation method for adverse weather operational design domains based on parameter perturbation testing and comprehensive assessment. Snow, fog, and rain are graded using standard quantitative thresholds and are coupled with road slipperiness to construct a weather–road state set. A mechanism-oriented indicator system, a combined subjective–objective weighting strategy, and a multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model are then used to generate quantitative capability scores. The method is validated on a co-simulation framework integrating vehicle–sensor simulation, a driving simulator, and a digital-twin testing environment using representative autonomous emergency braking scenarios. Results show that increasing weather severity, decreasing road adhesion, and higher initial speed reduce the post-braking safety margin and prolong collision-response time. The proposed method differentiates performance across weather–road states and provides quantitative support for test-coverage planning and capability boundary calibration in adverse weather operational design domains.
