This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides preliminary1 safety-relevant guidance for in-vehicle fallback test driver training and for on-road testing of vehicles being operated by prototype conditional, high, and full (Levels 3 to 5) ADS, as defined by SAE J3016. It does not include guidance for evaluating the performance of post-production ADS-equipped vehicles. Moreover, this guidance only addresses testing of ADS-operated vehicles as overseen by in-vehicle fallback test drivers (IFTD).These guidelines do not address: Remote driving, including remote fallback test driving of prototype ADS-operated test vehicles in driverless operation. (Note: The term "remote fallback test driver" is included as a defined term herein and is intended to be addressed in a future iteration of this document. However, at this time, too little is published or known about this type of testing to provide even preliminary guidance.) Testing of driver support features (i.e., Levels 1 and 2), which rely on a human driver to perform part of the dynamic driving task (DDT) and to supervise the driving automation feature's performance in real time. (Refer to SAE J3016.) Closed-course testing. Simulation testing (except for training purposes). Component-level testing.These guidelines also do not address prototype vehicle and IFTD performance data collection and retention. The collection of data invokes various legal and risk management considerations that users of this document should nevertheless bear in mind, such as: Maintaining auditable procedures and documentation. Adhering to applicable privacy laws and principles. Ensuring adequate data collection and recording integrity to support post-crash forensic analysis. This document provides safety-relevant guidance for in-vehicle fallback test driver training and for testing prototype automated driving systems (ADS) equipped on test vehicles operated in mixed-traffic environments on public roads (hereafter, prototype ADS-operated vehicles). This document is being substantially updated in order to incorporate content from Automated Vehicle Safety Consortium (AVSC) publication 00001201911: "AVSC Best Practice for In-Vehicle Fallback Test Driver Selection, Training, and Oversight Procedures for Automated Vehicles Under Test" and to re-classify this document as an SAE Recommended Practice, rather than an SAE Information Report.It is assumed that the prototype ADS-operated vehicles that are the subject of this guidance have been developed using standardized methods for safer product development including, but not limited to: A systems engineering approach (i.e., V-model). Adherence to a recognized system safety process(es) for identifying hazards and implementing strategies for mitigating them. Implementation of an electrical/electronic (E/E) architecture (system/hardware/software levels) capable of implementing hazard mitigation concepts and strategies. Analysis and testing of identified hazard mitigation strategies (hardware and software).Prototype ADS-operated vehicles that are based on existing production vehicles rely on the existing vehicle's E/E architecture, as adapted for ADS. Prototype ADS technology provided via added hardware and software modules that are not integrated according to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications, should be checked to ensure that they do not interfere with base vehicle hardware or software systems. As such, they should abide by the following general principles: All hardware and software interfaces between production- and development-level hardware and software should be analyzed and tested for operational integrity, including analysis of failure modes and effects. Developmental software added to a vehicle (including that equipped on added hardware modules) should be monitored and/or include self-diagnostics for safety-critical functions, which should be verified for efficacy prior to on-road testing. Alternatively, system-level approaches to ensuring developmental software safety (e.g., shadow mode testing) is also acceptable.Test program/operations management plays a key role in helping to maintain safety while conducting on-road testing of prototype ADS-operated vehicles. Unexpected behaviors (including incidents) should be reported accurately and consistently for later root-cause analysis and resolution. A manager in charge of prototype ADS-operated vehicle testers should explain to them the organization's specific rules about testing and documentation, as well as any hardware/software updates that impact the performance of the ADS-operated vehicles. Novice testers should be paired with more experienced testers to learn the appropriate reactions in various situations.Real-time calibration/tuning of ADS software during testing should be allowed only after evaluation by qualified personnel (e.g., development engineer, lead calibrator, and/or designated safety engineer), indicating that the change does not pose unacceptable risk for on-road testing.

Download or read book Autonomous Driving written by Markus Maurer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-21 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a look at fully automated, autonomous vehicles and discusses many open questions: How can autonomous vehicles be integrated into the current transportation system with diverse users and human drivers? Where do automated vehicles fall under current legal frameworks? What risks are associated with automation and how will society respond to these risks? How will the marketplace react to automated vehicles and what changes may be necessary for companies? Experts from Germany and the United States define key societal, engineering, and mobility issues related to the automation of vehicles. They discuss the decisions programmers of automated vehicles must make to enable vehicles to perceive their environment, interact with other road users, and choose actions that may have ethical consequences. The authors further identify expectations and concerns that will form the basis for individual and societal acceptance of autonomous driving. While the safety benefits of such vehicles are tremendous, the authors demonstrate that these benefits will only be achieved if vehicles have an appropriate safety concept at the heart of their design. Realizing the potential of automated vehicles to reorganize traffic and transform mobility of people and goods requires similar care in the design of vehicles and networks. By covering all of these topics, the book aims to provide a current, comprehensive, and scientifically sound treatment of the emerging field of “autonomous driving".

Download or read book The Role of ISO 26262 written by Juan Pimentel and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety has been ranked as the number one concern for the acceptance and adoption of automated vehicles since safety has driven some of the most complex requirements in the development of self-driving vehicles. Recent fatal accidents involving self-driving vehicles have uncovered issues in the way some automated vehicle companies approach the design, testing, verification, and validation of their products. Traditionally, automotive safety follows functional safety concepts as detailed in the standard ISO 26262. However, automated driving safety goes beyond this standard and includes other safety concepts such as safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) and multi-agent safety. The Role of ISO 26262 addresses the concept of safety for self-driving vehicles through the inclusion of 10 recent and highly relevent SAE technical papers. Topics that these papers feature include model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and the use of SysML language in a management-based approach to safety As the fourth title in a series on automated vehicle safety, this contains introductory content by the Editor with 10 SAE technical papers specifically chosen to illuminate the specific safety topic of that book.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are the driverless vehicles that are made to operate on their own with less or no human engagements. These safety-critical systems or features comprises of adaptive cruise control (ACC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Emergency Lane Keep (ELK), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Collision Avoidance System (CAS) and many more. For these systems to work properly in diverse operational domains such as rain, snow, freeway, urban, roads, etc., system safety is paramount. There is a need for a set of test cases/scenarios that an AV might encounter while operating on public or private roads. This project develops a library of scenarios from customer-based requirements following Euro-NCAP protocols or Voyage’s OAS for testing systems like AEB, ELK, LKA, ACC in various urban scenarios. Apart from these, several other scenarios are developed from studies in the literature and performing brainstorming sessions. The customer requirements to test an Automated Driving System (ADS) are analyzed, and the appropriate test scenarios meeting those requirements are developed, selected, and simulated on a virtual platform. The technique of Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) that has been accepted and frequently employed under the ISO 26262 V framework is used to estimate the risk of ADS failures. Finally, in the last phase, a strategy is proposed to automate the overall scenario testing process to make the testing less cumbersome. This project follows a systematic approach, according to NHTSA’s framework for ADAS testable cases and scenarios.
