A Systematic Methodology for Specifying the Operational Design Domain of Automated Vehicles

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper outlines a systematic approach to specifying an Operational Design Domain (ODD) for an Automated Vehicle (AV). The approach addresses the complexities arising from diverse sensor setups, the vast range of operational domain attributes, and the wide range of driving assistant functionalities with their specific regulations that impact the ODD. Our methodology focuses on identifying and excluding non-safe areas within the operational domain. By narrowing down the operational domain to a manageable subspace, this approach saves time and effort in the testing process of AVs. As a proof of concept, the proposed methodology has been validated through a practical example, demonstrating its application and feasibility.
