Validation on Safety of the Intended Functionality of Automated Vehicles: Concept Development

As automated driving technology is evolving quickly and becomes more widely deployed, it is essential to validate the Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) of Automated Vehicles (AVs) prior to mass production. In general, an exhaustive real-world scenario validation of AVs is considered infeasible due to excessive time consumption. Additionally, simulation tests alone are often regarded as inadequate since it is difficult to model the system and physical properties of vehicles with full fidelity. Therefore, a SOTIF validation method for AVs is proposed in this article, which consists of structure design and scenario determination. A mature, systematic, and complete set of testing and evaluation procedures is presented in structure design, and a scenario generation method is introduced in scenario determination. The SOTIF validation method takes advantage of both simulation tests and on-road tests. The goal is to improve the efficiency and realisticity of validation of AVs.
