AVSC Best Practice for First Responder Interactions with Fleet-Managed Automated Driving System-Dedicated Vehicles (ADS-DVs)

2024-04-04
CURRENT
AVSC-I-01-2024
This AVSC best practice was first published in 2020 and has been revised to cast expanded role definitions, rearrangement of use cases in Section 4 based on severity of risk, re-creation of Table 4 in 5.4 as a checklist and moved to Appendix B, as well as clarification of sections, examples, and terms throughout the document. This document outlines interactions between first responders and ADS-DVs (SAE level 4 and level 5). It builds on earlier work done by the Crash Avoidance Metrics Partners (CAMP), detailing three types of interactions first responders may encounter: direct, indirect, and informational. In addition, a standardized framework with recommendations for an interaction plan is laid out for ADS developers, manufacturers, and fleet operators which may assist first responders in both emergency and non-emergency situations involving ADS-DVs.

AVSC Best Practice for ADS Remote Assistance Use Case

2023-11-28
CURRENT
AVSC-I-04-2023
Automated driving system-dedicated vehicles (ADS-DVs) can handle a wide variety of circumstances they might encounter on the road. When circumstances are encountered that exceed ADS design capabilities, the ADS is designed to bring the vehicle into a minimal risk condition (MRC). When an ADS-DV encounters these conditions—identified as “triggers” within this best practice—they can request remote assistance (RA) from a remotely located human operator. RA involves the provision of guidance, suggestions, or recommendations to a vehicle from a remote location, without direct control of the vehicle. RA has emerged as a useful tool in supporting the operation of an ADS. It can complement the capabilities of ADS-DVs and improve overall system performance and utilization, particularly in situations that exceed ADS design capabilities. This best practice provides guidelines for integrating remote assistance within the context of ADS.

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.

AVSC Best Practice for Continuous Monitoring and Improvement after Deployment

2023-07-25
CURRENT
AVSC00011202307
Successful scaling of automated driving system (ADS) technology and realization of its full potential will require developers and service providers to continuously monitor performance of their fleet and enact prompt improvements should issues arise. ADS developers and manufacturers can use the data collected from vehicles in active deployments (e.g., safety performance data) to proactively confirm initial risk assumptions and feed other safety management processes. This best practice provides an approach to continuous monitoring and potential improvement of safety performance of ADS-DVs after deployment. It also outlines approaches to analyzing data related to known and unknown variations in the ADS-DV’s operating environment and complements other AVSC best practices that provide metrics and methods which can be used to monitor safety [AVSC00006202103, AVSC00008202111] while considering important factors pertaining to how data is collected, analyzed, and used [AVSC00004202009].
