PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION

Abstract:
The deployment of automated driving targeting also large scale homologation evoke a major challenge – driving responsibility of a machine in traffic - thus the behaviour of sophisticated driving technology within an open context must fulfil legal requirements.
The arising complexity for release and operation of highly automated vehicles can be mastered by use of a consistent framework of methods. Such a framework combines design and verification & validation by a safety argumentation. The argumentation then also can be used to explain compliance to external stakeholders. The framework and its method chains combined with the argumentation also enable a shift from real world tests into virtual testing procedures and environments as also a common understanding of scenario descriptions and its metrics.
This session shall give a short overview about the assets provide by the German project VVM as a successor of PEGASUS.

Combining assurance argumentation for design, development & operation for automated driving

Objective:
• Consider all relevant societal claims as laws/standards & market proposition in a common process.
• Focus on resilience in open context over the complete life cycle (development & operation).

Strategy:
• Use different viewpoints and appropriate levels of abstraction.
• Combine development & operation with Design, Verification&Validation via an assurance argumentation.
• An assurance argumentation enable consistency and traceability over life cycle.

Enabler:
• Layer structure enables iterative development and thus convergence of results from different perspectives.
• The assurance argumentation builds a backbone for traceable decomposition of claims. This enables efficient post-release when changes appear in the open context.
• The abstract capability-based architecture combines system and organization to achieve a consistent argumentation.
• Developed methods comply to relevant industry standards.
