It is necessary to ensure that the ADF can safely and effectively handle a broad range of situations and conditions. This involves comprehensive testing and validation processes to confirm that every aspect of the system functions as expected, and that there are backup systems ready to handle any failures. This approach not only builds trust in the system but also ensures its safe operation in real-world conditions. Thus, ensuring that there are no significant process gaps in the ODD verification efforts for the ADF is crucial. A conventional quality strategy on vehicle level should include:
- Requirements-based verification of function, sub-functions and components.
- Validation of a typical fail-operation function with all redundant components capable of performing safe state transitions.
Main Question
Is a formal verification strategy for the chosen ODD defined?
Sub-Questions
- Is the appropriate interaction between the vehicle and its environment ensured?
- Is the coverage of the ODD requirements by the V&V tools (e.g. MIL, SIL, HIL, proving ground and real-world driving) checked?
- Is there a requirements concept for testing the compliance with the ODD requirements?
- Is it checked that the AD cannot be activated outside of the ODD?
