Operational Safety Concepts for Level 4 Automated Driving System Fleets: Qualitative Risk Assessment
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 describes the qualitative risk scale developed to assess the safety hazards identified in the project through a multi-dimensional scale composed of a combination of “relative frequency”, “controllability” and “severity” inspired by the ISO 26262 ASIL risk assessment methodology.
