A field monitoring and incident management approach for ensuring safety in highly automated vehicle operation for SAE L3/L4
Date and Time: Tuesday, July 11, 2023: 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Presentation Description
Advanced autonomous vehicles for SAE L3 and L4 functions will lead to a new understanding of the operation phase in the overall product lifecycle. The regulation like the EU Implementing Act and the German L4 act (AFGBV) request also a continuous field surveillance, the handling of critical E/E faults and SW updates during operation. This is required to enhance the ODD during operation, offering function on demands (FoD), by increasing SW features within these AV systems over the whole digital product lifecycle, and to avoid/reduce downtime by a malfunction of the AD SW stack. Supported by implemented effective management systems for CyberSecurity (R155), Software Update Management System (R 156) and a safety management system (in compliance to Automated Lane Keeping System (UN ECE R157)) the organizations have to ensure safe and secure development, deployment and operation to fulfill legal requirements.Especially the handling of incident/accidents, caused by E/E malfunctions, will require a minimal “time-of-action” to analyse the root causes of the faults in the AD system, to close the safety-relevant malfunction, validate it on safety-risk balance approach and release the SW supported by the SUMS (UN ECE R156) in the SAE L3/L4 fleet. Especially the identification of the root causes requires transparency in the complex E/E architectures for AVs, this can be supporting by analyzing the effect chains. The effect chain helps to understand relationships between functions, ECUs and exchanged signals as well as the effects of software updates and the homologation requirement
Speaker Biography
Lucas studied industrial engineering at the University of Applied Science in Munich (BEng) and the Technical University Darmstadt (M.Sc). Since 2020 he has been working on his PhD thesis about ensuring safety and security within AD systems by providing an integrated process and compliance framework. In addition to his academic research, since 2018 he is a principal & team lead for technology and regulation for SAE L3/L4 applications at the global technology consulting company P3 in the area of autonomous mobility. His expertise focuses on the implementation of the UN ECE and AV regulations (155/156/157) for L3/L4 application within OEMs and for the SDS providers
