Pragmatic tools and methodologies for compliance with emerging ADS standards and regulations – ALKS case study

Ensuring ADS are safe is a major challenge for the broad deployment of automated driving systems. Emerging standards and regulations will help direct the efforts of ADS developers in testing, scenario description and more, but how can we collect viable safety metrics, expose the unknown unknowns and comply with new regulations that recommend a combination of physical and massive-scale virtual testing? This presentation will describe these challenges and offers pragmatic tools along with coverage-driven verification methodology as a way to supply quantitative safety metrics, expose unknown unknowns, describe scenarios in a reusable and manageable way, and more. It will demonstrate the use of coverage-driven verification methodology and the Foretify platform for the implementation of the new ALKS regulation package.
