Operational Safety Concepts for Level 4 Automated Driving System Fleets: Best Practices from Related Industries
Overview of Operational Safety Concepts for Level 4 Automated Driving System Fleets
The project aims to identify safety risks associated with ongoing Automated Driving System (ADS) fleet operations used in Mobility as a Service (MaaS) applications. Within the transport environment, the main role of the Fleet Operator is to ensure the correct and safe operation of the fleet based on the technical requirements of the ADS manufacturer and comply with additional MaaS operational requirements.
The risk mitigation activities are derived by investigating what elements are required from the Fleet Operator to provide the adequate support to the system’s agents in carrying out their operational safety responsibilities. This document provides an overview of related best safety practices in other industries:
- Other transportation types such as light vehicles and heavy trucks for passenger and commercial transport.
- Industries with control room environments and varying levels of automation such as nuclear, civil and commercial aviation, autonomous marine vessels, and railway systems.
