StreetDrone Team
February 27, 2020
Once your technology stack is assembled, the StreetDrone team can help get wheels turning either on or off road.
Our safety team provide detailed Operational Design Domain assessments, and can build these into full safety cases, compliant with local regulation, taking into account both functional and operational safety. We have experience in liaising with required authorities, and building relevant risk assessment.
We can also assist in applying for testing permits and licences.
Once this is in place, StreetDrone can also provide support to run trials, including AV engineers, data processing and fully trained safety drivers.
Safety is clearly the most important aspect when deploying self-driving vehicles and it all starts with the vehicle itself. Our engineering team has deep technical expertise in automotive control systems. This means that we can build the safest possible drive-by-wire system in parallel with the vehicle manufacturers existing systems.
Our team’s combined automotive engineering experience has enabled a best practice approach to vehicle safety, prioritised at all levels of our technology deployment. This report details that approach in the hope that together, we can move forward in our discussions and understanding of what a truly safe autonomous future looks like.
StreetDrone have a proprietary approach to comprehensively defining the scope of autonomous vehicle trials – starting and finishing with safety.
The conditions under which a StreetDrone vehicle can operate autonomously.
The vehicle specification to meet the requirements of the operating conditions.
The ODD and VDD, once defined, form the functional specification for your StreetDrone autonomous vehicle - what it can do and where it can go.
Safety driver training is the next essential step to safe deployment of autonomous vehicles. When anything occurs (weather changes, dynamic objects etc.) outside your ODD and VDD conditions, the safety driver will take control of the vehicle.
With all these steps complete, a thorough safety case can be written for an autonomous vehicle trial or demonstration.
