Abstract

For technical systems, which perform highly automated or so-called autonomous actions, there exist a large demand to evaluate their operational safety in a uniform way at runtime based on the combination of environmental threats and the conditions of subordinated system modules. To guarantee a safe motion based on autonomous decisions we have introduced a universal and transparent certification process which not only takes functional aspects like environment detection and collision avoidance techniques into account but especially identifies the associated system condition itself as a key aspect for the determination of operational safety and for an automated optimization of operating parameters. Similar to a feedback loop possible constraints for environment perception of sensor components or the ability of actuator components to interact with their environment have to be taken into account to introduce a generalized safetyevaluation for the entire system. Therefore, a model is derived to evaluate the operational safety for the autonomous driving robot RAVON from TU Kaiserslautern based on an integrated behavior-based control (IB2C).
