A connecting device () for connecting a target object () to a towing vehicle () for functionally testing a driver assistance system of a test vehicle () for test driving, includes two deformable pressurizable hoses that extend in a longitudinal direction (e.g. from the towing vehicle to the target object) and that are connected to each other transversely to the longitudinal direction. A test arrangement includes the towing vehicle connected to the target object by the connecting device.

Connecting device for connecting a target object to a towing vehicle for test driving for functionally testing a driver assistance system and corresponding test arrangement

A device and a method provide for the non-destructive simulation or reproduction of driving situations involving collisions and/or near-collisions between a test vehicle and a target object, while testing driver assistance systems or anticipatory vehicle sensor systems of the test vehicle. The target object is moved along a guide rope, for example by a drive rope. If a load exceeds a threshold value during a collision of the test vehicle with the target object, then the target object decouples from the guide rope.
