Popis: A coherent way to enhance the user acceptance of autonomous vehicles (AV) is to ensure maximum ride comfort along the driven route. This paper proposes a sub-microscopic simulation framework that can be utilized to assess the ride comfort based on data from vehicle dynamics. In a future connected vehicle environment, this work can be used to enable an optimized route and motion planning, by avoiding sections with poor ride comfort and/or adapting the driving style and behavior. The developed methodology proposes a process chain for producing accurate and representative comfort estimates, by utilizing a road surface model, a non-linear model optimization, and Monte Carlo simulations. A case study with three real road sites demonstrates the effective tuning of the framework with real data and achieves high-resolution comfort results. The simulation investigations of the developed framework provide results and insights that justify the importance of enhancing available data sources with ride comfort data.
