Engineering:Scenario (vehicular automation)

From HandWiki

A scenario in the field of vehicular automation denotes a sequence of snapshots of the environment and the interactions of a vehicle in performing its tasks. Scenarios are created to represent real-world situations and are used for development, testing, and validation purposes.[1][2]

Standards

Definition Source
"description of the temporal relationship between several scenes ... in a sequence of scenes, with goals and values within a specified situation, influenced by actions ... and events" ISO 21448:2022(en), 3.26[3]
"sequence of scenes ... usually including the automated driving system(s) .../subject vehicle(s) ..., and its/their interactions in the process of performing the dynamic driving task" ISO 34501:2022(en), 3.4[4]

Relationship to ODD

According to the concept paper of ASAM OpenODD,[5] scenarios are related to operational design domain. However, they are not the same. Defining the behavior of actors within an ODD creates a scenario that is not dependent on any ODD definition.

Examples

In 2022, Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research announced scenario-based safety validation of self-driving trucks in cooperation with Torc Robotics.[6]
