Lecture with Prof. Carol Flannagan on Safety Benchmarking of Automated Driving Systems
Welcome to join a lecture with Prof. Carol Flannagan from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) on Safety benchmarking of automated driving systems.
As automated driving systems are now being deployed without drivers and with passengers on board, questions about how to assess their safety are becoming increasingly important. This lecture will address key challenges related to safety assessment, including what metrics to use and how automated driving systems can be compared with relevant human benchmarks.
The lecture is hosted by Jonas Bärgman at the Division of Vehicle Safety, Chalmers University of Technology. Carol’s visit to Chalmers is funded by Chalmers Area of Advance Transport.
Description:
Current Automated Driving Systems (ADS) have reached the point of fully driverless deployments with passengers, so questions are being asked such as: “Are ADS safer than humans?" and "Are ADS safe enough?" But answering these questions requires solutions to two critical challenges:
- What metric(s) should we use for assessment?
- What human benchmark(s) should we be comparing to?
This talk will cover the use and validation of surrogate metrics as well as the challenges of apples-to-apples comparison to human benchmarks.
