Developing a Safety Case for Autonomous Vehicle Operation on an Airport

This paper discusses the development of a safety case for the operation of an autonomous vehicle near to an airport’s runways and taxiways. It describes an approach to constraining such vehicles to operate only in allowed areas, and highlights some of the problems that may be encountered in constructing the safety argument.
