AVSC Best Practice for Developing ADS Safety Performance Thresholds Based on Human Driving Behavior

2023-08-29
CURRENT
AVSC00012202308
Automated driving system (ADS) developers need a way to describe safe and competent driving for automated driving system-dedicated vehicles (ADS-DVs) in a way that is relatable to how stakeholders interpret safe driving today. Metrics informed by competent and safe human behavior could improve understanding and confidence in ADS-DVs. One way to make ADS safety performance relatable to stakeholders is to adopt an intuitive comparison to behaviors displayed on the road by human drivers. This best practice outlines an approach which involves comparing the on-road driving behavior of ADSs to that of human drivers, aiming to gain a deeper understanding of ADS behavior and its implications. It includes and assessment that centers on the predictability and similarity of ADS behavior relative to observed human driving behavior. By adopting this approach, a more comprehensive evaluation of the performance of ADS fleets can be achieved.

Cast Shot and Grit Size Specifications for Cleaning and Peening

2023-06-27
CURRENT
J444_202306
This SAE Recommended Practice pertains to blast cleaning and shot peening and provides for standard cast shot and grit size numbers. For shot, this number corresponds with the opening of the nominal test sieve, in ten thousandths of inches1, preceded by an S. For grit, this number corresponds with the sieve designation of the nominal test sieve with the prefix G added. These sieves are in accordance with ASTM E11. The accompanying shot and grit classifications and size designations were formulated by representatives of shot and grit suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and automotive users.

AVSC Information Report for Change Risk Management

2023-04-12
CURRENT
AVSC00010202304
AVSC Information Report for Change Risk Management AVSC00010202304 provides a process for change risk management for fleet-operated ADS-DVs using level 4 or 5 automation. The document addresses risks resulting from planned and unplanned changes in an ADS-DV design and/or operation. This information report is based on the concept of risk-informed decision-making. Making risk management decisions such as safety and change management, safety analysis, and safety assurance are especially applicable when moving from concept to production intent for the ADS-DV. Change Risk Management (CRM) does not replace best practices or other methods for managing safety anomalies or change management processes. It may instead be viewed as an additional resource that elaborates on how safety anomaly management and change management can be performed.

AVSC Best Practice for Evaluation of Behavioral Competencies for Automated Driving System Dedicated Vehicles (ADS-DVs)

2021-11-18
CURRENT
AVSC00008202111
Driving safely is a complex task. It involves a broad range of skills invoked in a vast number of potential scenarios. Assessing a set of behavioral competencies offers a valuable directional indication of automated driving system-dedicated vehicle (ADS-DV) safety performance. Behavioral competencies provide a starting point for additional assessment and contribute to a manufacturer’s case for safety. This best practice provides an approach to specify testable ADS behavior by: Clarifying a lexicon surrounding ADS behaviors Enumerating an elemental set of behaviors Demonstrating how to derive metrics to evaluate behavioral competence To evaluate as many dynamic driving task (DDT) subtasks as possible, ADS developers decompose the DDT into a generalized set of behaviors. Subsequently, developers use system engineering techniques to ensure that this decomposition maps to an elemental set of behavioral competencies.
