Managing Inherent Risk: On the Conceptualization of Risk in Defense Systems
NIklas Braun, Leon J. Brettin, Marvin Loba +1
Certain defense systems are, by nature, deployed in a civilian environment in order to serve a defensive function for that environment. However, the risk involved with their deploy…
A Companion App for an Autonomous Family Vehicle: Identification of Values for an Autonomous Mobility System
Leon Johann Brettin, Tobias Schräder, Kerstin Kuhlmann +2
In this paper, we present a companion app for an autonomous vehicle aimed at user groups who would normally require an accompanying person to drive them. Two aspects of a companion…
Equalized Coverage in Motion Control Performance Prediction for Self-Adaptive Road Vehicles
Ole Reuter, Richard Schubert, Marvin Loba +1
Automated driving systems require monitoring mechanisms to ensure operation as intended, especially when system elements degrade and/or fail. Hence, capability monitoring is crucia…
Teleoperation Operational Design Domain based on Minimal Risk Maneuver Capability
Leon Johann Brettin, Nayel Fabian Salem, Ole Hans +1
This article discusses the concept of an Operational Design Domain (ODD) designed specifically for teleoperated road vehicles. For this purpose, the ODD concept designed for automa…
Approaching Safety-Argumentation-by-Design: A Requirement-based Safety Argumentation Life Cycle for Automated Vehicles
Marvin Loba, Robert Graubohm, Niklas Braun +6
Despite the growing number of automated vehicles on public roads, operating such systems in open contexts inevitably involves incidents. Developing a defensible case that the resid…
Conformal Prediction of Motion Control Performance for an Automated Vehicle in Presence of Actuator Degradations and Failures
Richard Schubert, Marvin Loba, Jasper Sünnemann +2
Automated driving systems require monitoring mechanisms to ensure safe operation, especially if system components degrade or fail. Their runtime self-representation plays a key rol…
