Abstract

During the product lifecycle, a change in the requirements may involve expensive consequences on the system development. Nevertheless, having a decent understanding of the system and documenting the correct requirements from different perspectives help to minimize the changes caused by missing functionalities, therefore, reduce the development cost.

Developing comprehensive understanding of the system in the concept phase promotes the completeness and reduces the requirements’ changes. That helps also to create a good model of the system and develop simulation and test cases, which reveal the bugs and the design issues early. This work focus on thinking strategy to answer the research questions, “How to analyze the Automated Driving System (ADS) to improve the requirements’ completeness”.

ADS is a complex system that works in non-deterministic environment, in addition, it is a safety related system, meaning that, any malfunction during the operation can cause a harm to people or properties.

Three systematic methods were investigated. First, identify the gaps of the stakeholders. It uses product life cycle to identify a list of internal and external stakeholders and then identify their expected needs. The second systematic process utilizes holistic thinking perspectives method to build a broad understanding of ADS and its neighbor systems. This process tries to direct the system definition using external, internal, progressive, quantitative and scientific perspectives. The last method deals with safety requirements identification tools.
