Safety Assurance of Automated Driving Systems
(Session Code: GI02)
Room 146 AB 9:45 a.m.
Efforts to assure the safety of Automated Driving Systems are progressing rapidly. This session will consist of a panel discussion on developing the basic benchmarks for a framework to assure safe ADS performance. Topics may include: proxies for studying crashes and risky vehicle interactions that have not yet been observed in the real world; objective and repeatable test cases and scenarios; how vehicle networks may be used to simulate real-time changes in traffic scenarios, and various other measures that may be used to assess the safe operation of ADS-equipped vehicles.

ADS (L3-L5) Occupant Protection with Alternative Seating
The worldwide race to develop Automated Driving Systems is well underway and will revolutionize transportation as we know it. This race is fueled with billions of dollars of investment into advanced technology and innovation. Key to the success of these systems will be to ensure their safety for vehicles, passengers and other road users. We know that both automated and human operated vehicles will occupy the same roads for many years. Additionally, ADS technology will not be completely free from malfunctions and other logistical challenges. These realities make it absolutely critical that all vehicles outfitted with ADS technology meet occupant crashworthiness. ADS from L3-L5 with alternative seating configurations - including simply a relaxed or reclining seat - must ensure compliance to standardized safety testing. The Autonomous Vehicles Occupant Safety (AVOS) Industry Working Group has been actively simulating and testing these alternative seating conditions. This presentation will provide a short overview of the challenges, requirements and current activities being conducted to ensure occupant protection for ADS alternative seating.

Overview of International Activities on Automated Driving
Automated and connected driving is a key technology of the future. It will influence vehicle fleets and our future mobility. The World Forum for the Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations of UNECE is focusing on the preparation of globally harmonised requirements for automated and connected vehicles. Working groups have been installed to address the challenges linked to the technology. New approaches are discussed that allow a safe and secure deployment of the technology. This includes discussions on functional requirements, assessment methodologies, security issues, vehicle data and performance over vehicle lifetime. The presentation will give a short overview of these activities.
