From Stoplights to On-Ramps: A Comprehensive Set of Crash Rate Benchmarks for Freeway and Surface Street ADS Evaluation
John M. Scanlon, Timothy L McMurry, Yin-Hsiu Chen +2
This paper presents crash rate benchmarks for evaluating US-based Automated Driving Systems (ADS) for multiple urban areas. The purpose of this study was to extend prior benchmarks…
Comparison of Waymo Rider-Only Crash Rates by Crash Type to Human Benchmarks at 56.7 Million Miles
Kristofer D. Kusano, John M. Scanlon, Yin-Hsiu Chen +3
SAE Level 4 Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) are deployed on public roads, including Waymo's Rider-Only (RO) ride-hailing service (without a driver behind the steering wheel). The…
Comparison of Waymo Rider-Only Crash Data to Human Benchmarks at 7.1 Million Miles
Kristofer D. Kusano, John M. Scanlon, Yin-Hsiu Chen +4
This paper examines the safety performance of the Waymo Driver, an SAE level 4 automated driving system (ADS) used in a rider-only (RO) ride-hailing application without a human dri…
Dynamic Benchmarks: Spatial and Temporal Alignment for ADS Performance Evaluation
Yin-Hsiu Chen, John M. Scanlon, Kristofer D. Kusano +2
Deployed SAE level 4+ Automated Driving Systems (ADS) without a human driver are currently operational ride-hailing fleets on surface streets in the United States. This current use…
RAVE Checklist: Recommendations for Overcoming Challenges in Retrospective Safety Studies of Automated Driving Systems
John M. Scanlon, Eric R. Teoh, David G. Kidd +12
The public, regulators, and domain experts alike seek to understand the effect of deployed SAE level 4 automated driving system (ADS) technologies on safety. The recent expansion o…
Benchmarks for Retrospective Automated Driving System Crash Rate Analysis Using Police-Reported Crash Data
John M. Scanlon, Kristofer D. Kusano, Laura A. Fraade-Blanar +3
With fully automated driving systems (ADS; SAE level 4) ride-hailing services expanding in the US, we are now approaching an inflection point, where the process of retrospectively…
