For autonomous vehicles (AV) to perform at par with human ability, we first need to understand human driving behaviour. For simplification, human driving tasks can be broken down into two categories of tasks, i.e., the ‘what tasks’ and the ‘how tasks’, together referred to as the orthogonal tasks. The driving task under the ‘what category’ can be further broken down ...

Safety concern in an autonomous vehicles (AV) primarily arises from the software pipeline which has successfully replaced the human driver, who earlier acted as an integrator and operator of various driving tasks. AV need to perform multiple highly dynamic and complex tasks for which they should be able to generalise any unpredictable situation and this process primarily depends on its ...

Raul (ESR1) and Aleksandr (ESR5) actively participated in the annual flag-ship event of the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA 2021)!

We are glad to announce that our submission of the SAS workshop “Safety-aware design and validation of autonomous systems” was accepted at the 51st IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN 2021). More info coming soon!

Building a safety case does not have to be a hassle.

Vehicle safety has a lot of checks before a model hits the market.

The UK Research and Innovation project ‘Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) Node in Resilience’ (https://resilience.tas.ac.uk) brings together the disciplines of computer science, engineering, law, mathematics, philosophy and psychology from five UK universities to develop a comprehensive toolbox of principles, methods and systematic approaches for the engineering of resilient autonomous systems. Our very own beneficiary University of York is part of this ...

Half way through the Safer Autonomous Systems project the third Network Wide Event took place once again online. Please find the details of the agenda and the activities executed by the consortium in the following post.

From November 17 till November 20, the third network-wide event of the MSCA ETN SAS project takes place, organized by Fraunhofer IKS using Microsoft Teams provided by KU Leuven.

To close the development loop of Assurance case (AC), the final task is the generation of evidence to support the claims. The techniques for evidence generation vary with different system development solutions.
