| Description: |
Developing an Automated Driving System (ADS) is a complex task involving many stakeholders from different domains. Taking up this challenge, the VV Methods project (VVM) https://www.vvmprojekt.de/en/ has developed a general methodology that is proposed as a new common basis to develop and ensure the safety of future Automated Driving Systems (ADS). The methodology enables the analysis, monitoring and control of the risk resulting from operating the ADS in its desired Operational Domain1 for driver, passengers and other traffic participants during the development to ensure that the result maintains an acceptable level of risk. The methodological framework proposed by VVM also integrates key aspects needed to provide evidence of this in a safety case. The framework is explicitly designed for industrial application. It builds on the PEGASUS method (https://www.pegasusprojekt.de/en/) for scenario-based testing and addresses the challenges of operating an ADS in and coping with the complexity of urban traffic. The main overall approach of the VVM methodology is represented in Figure 1. It combines argumentation concepts (pink) establishing the coverage of the operational design domain (ODD) and the operational domain (OD) by scenarios with an assurance framework (light blue) defining the processes and means to develop the ADS for that ODD within the OD. While the argumentation concepts are not fully formalized, the assurance framework is based on formal formats and toolbased procedures, in particular for verification and validation tasks, that can be directly integrated into industrial practice. |
