Advances on the Criticality Analysis for Automated Driving Systems

Kurzfassung

In this work, we summarize the progress regarding the methodical criticality analysis, an open context analysis with the goal to structure the operational domain of an automated driving systems with respect to the emergence of criticality by eliciting a manageable set of artifacts. The criticality analysis is developed in the VVM project and it has been featured in numerous publications. In order to provide an overview of the developments of recent years, we provide summaries of the works that have already been published, but also write up ideas and present results that were not available before. In particular, we analyze which research questions could be solved to an satisfactory extent, where key problems remain unsolved and how the artifacts produced by a criticality analysis can be leveraged for subsequent activities regarding the safeguarding of automated driving systems.
