Another step forward for safety
of automated driving systems
The sixth best practice issued by the
Automated Vehicle Safety Consortium
(AVSC) is the first industry-led
foundational guidance for developers and
manufacturers to measure and analyze
safety performance metrics for automated
driving systems (ADS).
" Safety metrics that are widely used
across the ADS industry are essential to
improve communication in open forums
and to realize the potential benefits of ADS
deployments, " Amy Chu, Director of the
AVSC, said about Metrics and Methods for
Assessing Safety Performance of
Automated Driving Systems (ADS). " This
new best practice outlines credible,
practicable, and consistent ways to
measure ADS safety performance which
can be broadly adopted and commonly
used as a foundation for customized
analysis. This is a critical step in garnering
public trust and confidence in the on-road
testing and deployment of SAE level 4 and
5 fleet-managed vehicles. "
Developers and manufacturers measure
many safety elements during development
and test. This foundational set of metrics
for monitoring ADS safety performance
grounds communication among
stakeholders and accelerates industry-wide
continuous improvement.

When activated, Toyota's Teammate SAE Level 2 advanced
driver assistance technology enables automatic steering,
acceleration, and braking on the highway under active
supervision of the driver, among other features. Toyota is a
member of the Automated Vehicle Safety Consortium.
recommends be consistently captured are:
* Crash severity and frequency which is
defined as any contact that the vehicle has
with an object, either moving or fixed, at
any speed resulting in fatality, injury, or
property damage.
* Severity and frequency of citable traffic
regulation violations which can be
correlated to safe driving and linked to
historical human driving data.
* Maintaining a safety envelope or a
defined space around a vehicle that
represents a buffer between the vehicle
and other objects in the environment.
* Exhibit safe vehicle motion control which
includes capturing rapid acceleration,
deceleration or object avoidance.
* Object and event detection and response
(OEDR) reaction time (the time it takes to
respond to an external event or stimuli).
