Abstract:

To allow a vehicle with highly automated driving functions to operate on the road the overall safety (safe functionalities, functional insufficiencies including cybersecurity) of the driving system must be guaranteed. Therefore, a generic Safety Management System (SMS), that includes all useful and necessary regulations should be applied. The given specifications regarding the safety of driving systems shall be understood and considered in order to define an acceptable SMS for the Highly Automated Driving Function (HADF). Derived from the generic SMS a specific management system has to be developed to guide the development and deployment of the HADF. The research presented in this paper investigates the currently available SMS in different sectors like aviation, marine, and railway to propose a new set of components and elements that are useful and modified for a HADF’s SMS. Moreover, the paper provides a systematic approach to how the new set of components and elements can be applied for a HADF SMS. Additionally, well established hazard identification methods (scenario-based HARA and STPA) are compared and integrated into the safety concept phase. The complexity of scenarios is unique for a HADF. Since the SMS is going to be complicated for automotive HADFs and a constantly developing process, methods for evaluation and continuous improvement are needed. This paper gives insight into the structure of the SMS and to guarantee its applicability the use of a helpful software tool is considered. Furthermore, the proposed SMS approach can be adjusted as a groundwork for research concerns like validation for homologation and assess the safety of a HADF.
