Operational design domain (ODD) is a term for a set of operating conditions for an automated system, often used in the field of autonomous vehicles. These operating conditions include environmental, geographical and time of day constraints, traffic and roadway characteristics. The ODD is used by manufacturers to indicate where their product will operate safely.[1]

The concept of ODD indicates that autonomated systems have limitations and that they should operate within predefined restrictions to ensure safety and performance.[2] Defining an ODD is important for developers and regulators to establish clear expectations and communicate the intended operating conditions of automated systems.

Beyond self-driving cars, ODD is also used for autonomous ships,[3] autonomous trains,[4] agricultural robots,[5] and other robots.

ODD definition by standards

Definition Source
"set of operating conditions under which a given driving automation system ... or feature thereof is specifically designed to function" ISO/TS 14812:2022(en), 3.7.3.2[6]
"operating conditions under which a given automated driving system ... or feature thereof is specifically designed to function, including, but not limited to, environmental, geographical, and time-of-day restrictions, and/or the requisite presence or absence of certain traffic or roadway characteristics" ISO/TR 4804:2020(en), 3.37[7]
"operating conditions under which a given driving automation system or feature thereof is specifically designed to function, including, but not limited to, environmental, geographical, and time-of-day restrictions, and/or the requisite presence or absence of certain traffic or roadway characteristics" ISO 34501:2022(en), 3.26[8]
"specific conditions under which a given driving automation system is designed to function" ISO 21448:2022(en), 3.21[9]
"operating conditions under which a given driving automation system or feature thereof is specifically designed to function" BSI PAS 1883[10]
"set of environments and situations the item is to operate within" ANSI/UL 4600[11]
"environmental, geographic, time-of-day, traffic, infrastructure, weather and other conditions under which an automated driving system is specifically designed to function" Global Forum for Road Traffic Safety (WP.1) resolution on the deployment of highly and fully automated vehicles in road traffic[12]
"For the assessment of the vehicle safety, the vehicle manufacturers should document the [ODD] available on their vehicles and the functionality of the vehicle within the prescribed [ODD]. The [ODD] should describe the specific conditions under which the automated vehicle is intended to drive in the automated mode. The [ODD] should include the following information at a minimum: roadway types; geographic area; speed range; environmental conditions (weather as well as day/night time); and other domain constraints." Revised Framework document on automated/autonomous vehicles (WP.29)[13]
"Operational Design Domain (ODD) of the automated lane keeping system defines the specific operating conditions (e.g. environmental, geographic, time-of-day, traffic, infrastructure, speed range, weather and other conditions) within the boundaries fixed by this regulation under which the automated lane keeping system is designed to operate without any intervention by the driver." UN Regulation No 157 – Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regards to Automated Lane Keeping Systems [2021/389][14]

Structure of ODD

A report by US Department of Transportation subdivides an ODD description into six top-level categories and further immediate subcategories.[15] The top-level categories are the physical infrastructure, operational constraints, objects, connectivity, environmental conditions and zones. The physical infrastructure includes subcategories for roadway types, surfaces, edges and geometry. The operational constraints include subcategories for speed limits and traffic conditions. Environmental conditions include weather, illumination, and similar sub-categories. Zones include subcategories like regions, states, school areas, construction sites and similar.

Examples

In 2022, Mercedes-Benz announced a product with a new ODD, which is Level 3 autonomous driving at 130 km/h.[16]
