Scenario (vehicular automation)

In the field of vehicular automation a scenario denotes a sequence of snapshots of the environment and the actions of a vehicle. Scenarios are created to represent real-world situations and are used for development, testing, and validation purposes.[1][2]

For other uses of "Scenario", see Scenario (disambiguation).

Operational design domain[edit]

According to ASAM's OpenODD concept paper, scenarios are related to operational design domain. However, they are not the same. Defining the appropriate behavior of actors within an ODD creates a scenario that is not dependent on any ODD definition.[5]

History[edit]

In 2022, Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research announced scenario-based safety validation of self-driving trucks in cooperation with Torc Robotics.[6]
