Abstract This report describes the findings from applying Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) concepts as described in the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) ISO 21448 to the lane-changing and lane-centering maneuvers of a generic Level 3 highway chauffeur system. This report compares the SOTIF process described in PAS 21448 with the automotive industry’s voluntary functional safety standard, ISO 26262. This report then develops a generalized Level 3 highway chauffeur system, and identifies potential vehicle-level hazards, triggering events, and SOTIF mitigation measures. Finally, this report presents an approach for developing candidate scenarios to evaluate safety relevant triggering events and discusses current SOTIF evaluation approaches. 17. Key Words 18.

    SECTION 02560 MANHOLES PART 1 - GENERAL 1.01 SCOPE The work covered by this Section includes furnishing all labor, equipment and materials required to install cast-in-place, and/or precast concrete manholes, and concrete junction chambers as described herein and/or shown on the Drawings. 1.02 DESIGN CRITERIA A. Manholes shall be constructed of specified materials to the sizes, shapes, and dimensions and at the locations shown on the Drawings or as otherwise directed by the ENGINEER. The height or depth of the manhole will vary with the location, but unless shown otherwise on the Drawings shall be such that the top of the manhole frame will be at the finished grade of the pavement or ground surface and the invert will be at the designed elevations. B. Where the difference in the invert elevation of a sewer 18 inches in diameter or smaller and any other sewer intersecting in one manhole is 18 inches or more, a dropmanhole shall be constructed as shown on the Drawings. They shall be similar in construction to the standard manhole except that a drop connection of pipe and fittings of the proper size and material shall be constructed outside the manhole and be supported by Class B Concrete. 1.03 QUALITY ASSURANCE A. Prior to delivery all basic materials specified herein shall be tested and inspected by an approved independent commercial testing laboratory or, if approved by the ENGINEER, certified copies of test reports prepared by the manufacturer's testing laboratory will be acceptable. All materials which fail to conform to these specifications shall be rejected.
