Framework study for cooperative system to define ODDs for cooperative automated driving with infrastructure

Abstract

The infrastructure-cooperative automated driving systems has garnered significant interest as a potential avenue for the expeditious social deployment of Level4 automated driving. While demonstration tests have been conducted for cooperative automated driving in limited situations, the development of comprehensive guidelines for the evaluation of the entire cooperative system is a crucial step towards its implementation in a wide range of regions. Once the impact of the integration of diverse functions and the variability in the performance of each function within a cooperative system is fully definite, it will be possible to devise a cooperative system that should be implemented and to set the ODD for cooperative automated driving. This study presents the methodology along with the case example.
