aSCSa presents: Risk-based metrics for Autonomous Vehicle Safety

In this presentation, we will discuss the application of risk and reliability failure analysis methods (such as FTA/ ETA) to quantify the risks associated with the failure of driverless cars in unconstrained traffic environments. We will also present some strategies to minimise these risks.

Webinar
CPD Hours: 1
Skills Level: Safety engineering (SFEN) -> Level 5

About this event

PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT STARTS AT 12PM AEDT

The assessment and authentication of driverless vehicle safety are critical to the introduction and operation of automated vehicles. There is a wide range of risk metrics that are being used to measure autonomous vehicle safety, including the rate of technical failure, the rate of incidents that cause harm to people and the rate of near-misses. In our previous work, we presented risk-based Target Levels of Safety (TLOS) to measure the safety of autonomous vehicles such as driverless cars. 

This event is open to members and non-members through Australia, with a cap of 100 registrants.

Presenters:
Dr. Vamsi K Madasu & Mr. Kevin J Anderson
Systra Scott Lister
