Scope
This document provides an overview and guidance of the steps for developing and validating a automated vehicle equipped with a safe automated driving system. The approach is based on top level safety goals and basic principles derived from worldwide applicable publications. It considers safety by design, verification and validation methods for automated driving focussed on SAE level 3 and level 4 vehicles according to ISO/SAE/PAS 22736. In addition, it outlines cybersecurity considerations throughout all described steps.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to describe a possible framework for a harmonized safety design by systematically breaking down safety principles into safety by design capabilities, elements and architectures in order to reach a positive risk balance and avoidance of unreasonable risk for automated driving functions for SAE level 3 and 4 including an outlook to level 5). This generic methodology can be applied by vehicle manufacturers and suppliers worldwide.
The document aims to support a harmonization of different currently already applicable industry approaches of automated driving systems. It focuses on a positive risk balance for automated driving. The document guides system developers of automated driving systems by their design decisions and verification and validation methods. It gives evidence to follow an accepted state of the art approach.
