On Assumptions with Respect to Occlusions in Urban Environments for Automated Vehicle Speed Decisions
Robert Graubohm, Nayel Fabian Salem, Marcus Nolte +1
Automated driving systems are subject to various kinds of uncertainty during design, development, and operation. These kinds of uncertainty lead to an inherent risk of the technolo…
Risk Management Core -- Towards an Explicit Representation of Risk in Automated Driving
Nayel Fabian Salem, Thomas Kirschbaum, Marcus Nolte +4
While current automotive safety standards provide implicit guidance on how unreasonable risk can be avoided, manufacturers are required to specify risk acceptance criteria for Auto…
ODD-Centric Contextual Sensitivity Analysis Applied To A Non-Linear Vehicle Dynamics Model
Richard Schubert, Marcus Nolte, Arnaud de La Fortelle +1
Advanced driving functions, for assistance or full automation, require strong guarantees to be deployed. This means that such functions may not be available all the time, like now…
A Taxonomy to Unify Fault Tolerance Regimes for Automotive Systems: Defining Fail-Operational, Fail-Degraded, and Fail-Safe
Torben Stolte, Stefan Ackermann, Robert Graubohm +4
This paper presents a taxonomy that allows defining the fault tolerance regimes fail-operational, fail-degraded, and fail-safe in the context of automotive systems. Fault tolerance…
Supporting Safe Decision Making Through Holistic System-Level Representations & Monitoring -- A Summary and Taxonomy of Self-Representation Concepts for Automated Vehicles
Marcus Nolte, Inga Jatzkowski, Susanne Ernst +1
The market introduction of automated vehicles has motivated intense research efforts into the safety of automated vehicle systems. Unlike driver assistance systems, SAE Level 3+ sy…
Sensitivity Analysis for Vehicle Dynamics Models -- An Approach to Model Quality Assessment for Automated Vehicles
Marcus Nolte, Richard Schubert, Cordula Reisch +1
Model-based approaches have become increasingly popular in the domain of automated driving. This includes runtime algorithms, such as Model Predictive Control, as well as formal an…
Towards Efficient Hazard Identification in the Concept Phase of Driverless Vehicle Development
Robert Graubohm, Torben Stolte, Gerrit Bagschik +1
The complex functional structure of driverless vehicles induces a multitude of potential malfunctions. Established approaches for a systematic hazard identification generate indivi…
Investigating Functional Redundancies in the Context of Vehicle Automation - A Trajectory Tracking Perspective
Torben Stolte, Tianyu Liao, Matthias Nee +2
Level 3+ automated driving implies highest safety demands for the entire vehicle automation functionality. For the part of trajectory tracking, functional redundancies among all av…
Identification of Potential Hazardous Events for an Unmanned Protective Vehicle
Gerrit Bagschik, Andreas Reschka, Torben Stolte +1
The project Automated Unmanned Protective Vehicle for Highway Hard Shoulder Road Works (aFAS) aims to develop an unmanned protective vehicle to reduce the risk of injuries due to c…
A System's Perspective Towards an Architecture Framework for Safe Automated Vehicles
Gerrit Bagschik, Marcus Nolte, Susanne Ernst +1
With an increasing degree of automation, automated vehicle systems become more complex in terms of functional components as well as interconnected hardware and software components.…
Representing the Unknown - Impact of Uncertainty on the Interaction between Decision Making and Trajectory Generation
Marcus Nolte, Susanne Ernst, Jan Richelmann +1
Even though motion planning for automated vehicles has been extensively discussed for more than two decades, it is still a highly active field of research with a variety of differe…
Model Predictive Control Based Trajectory Generation for Autonomous Vehicles - An Architectural Approach
Marcus Nolte, Marcel Rose, Torben Stolte +1
Research in the field of automated driving has created promising results in the last years. Some research groups have shown perception systems which are able to capture even compli…
Towards a Skill- And Ability-Based Development Process for Self-Aware Automated Road Vehicles
Marcus Nolte, Gerrit Bagschik, Inga Jatzkowski +3
The development of fully automated vehicles imposes new challenges in the development process and during the operation of such vehicles. As traditional design methods are not suffi…
Towards a Functional System Architecture for Automated Vehicles
Simon Ulbrich, Andreas Reschka, Jens Rieken +5
