Peter Schlicht II III ABSTRACT This publication summarizes widely known safety by design and verification and validation (V&V) methods of SAE L3 and L4 automated driving. This summary is required for maximizing the evidence of a positive risk balance of automated driving solutions compared to the average human driving performance. There is already a vast array of publications focusing on only specific subtopics of automated driving. In contrast, this publication promotes a comprehensive approach to safety relevant topics of automated driving and is based on the input of OEMs, tiered suppliers and key technology providers. The objective of this publication is to systematically break down safety principles into safety by design capabilities, elements and architectures and then to summarize the V&V methods in order to demonstrate the positive risk balance. With Level 3 and 4 automated driving systems still under development, this publication represents guidance for potential methods and considerations in the development and V&V. This publication is not intended to serve as a final statement or minimum or maximum guideline or standard for automated driving systems. Instead, the intent of this publication is to contribute to current activities working towards the industry- wide standardization of automated driving.

  • DMV Driver Manual
    New Hampshire Driver Manual i 6WDWHRI1HZ+DPSVKLUH DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES MESSAGE FROM THE DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES Driving a motor vehicle on New Hampshire roadways is a privilege and as motorists, we all share the responsibility for safe roadways. Safe drivers and safe vehicles make for safe roadways and we are pleased to provide you with this driver manual to assist you in learning New Hampshire’s motor vehicle laws, rules of the road, and safe driving guidelines, so that you can begin your journey of becoming a safe driver. The information in this manual will not only help you navigate through the process of obtaining a New Hampshire driver license, but it will highlight safe driving tips and techniques that can help prevent accidents and may even save a life. One of your many responsibilities as a driver will include being familiar with the New Hampshire motor vehicle laws. This manual includes a review of the laws, rules and regulations that directly or indirectly affect you as the operator of a motor vehicle. Driving is a task that requires your full attention. As a New Hampshire driver, you should be prepared for changes in the weather and road conditions, which can be a challenge even for an experienced driver. This manual reviews driving emergencies and actions that the driver may take in order to avoid a major collision. No one knows when an emergency situation will arise and your ability to react to a situation depends on your alertness. Many factors, such as impaired vision, fatigue, alcohol or drugs will impact your ability to drive safely.

Visualizing We present a first step toward advice giving, where we train without advice with advice model’s attention an end-to-end vehicle controller that accepts advice.

Cleveland Clinic has created a series of Outcomes books similar to this one for its clinical institutes. Designed for a physician audience, the Outcomes books contain a summary of many of our surgical and medical treatments, with a focus on outcomes data and a review of new technologies and innovations. The Outcomes books are not a comprehensive analysis of all treatments provided at Cleveland Clinic, and omission of a particular treatment does not necessarily mean we do not offer that treatment. When there are no recognized clinical outcome measures for a specific treatment, we may report process measures associated with improved outcomes. When process measures are unavailable, we may report volume measures; a relationship has been demonstrated between volume and improved outcomes for many treatments, particularly those involving surgical and

  • Anti-Texting Law Facts
    Anti-Texting Law Facts Pennsylvania’s anti-texting law, effective March 8, 2012, encourages motorists to put their full focus on driving. What the Law Does The law prohibits as a primary offense any driver from using an Interactive Wireless Communication Device (IWCD) to send, read or write a text-based communication while his or her vehicle is in motion. Defines an IWCD as a wireless phone, personal digital assistant, smart phone, portable or mobile computer or similar devices that can be used for texting, instant messaging, emailing or browsing the Internet. Defines a text-based communication as a text message, instant message, email or other written communication composed or received on an IWCD. Institutes a $50 fine for convictions under this section. Makes clear that this law supersedes and preempts any local ordinances restricting the use of interactive wireless devices by drivers. The penalty is a summary offense with a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees. The violation carries no points as a penalty and will not be recorded on the driver record for non- commercial drivers. It will be recorded on commercial drivers’ records as a non-sanction violation. The texting ban does NOT include the use of a GPS device, a system or device that is physically or electronically integrated into the vehicle, or a communications device that is affixed to a mass transit vehicle, bus or school bus. The law does not authorize the seizure of an IWCD. Background, Nationwide Perspective In 2010, there were 13,846 crashes in Pennsylvania where distracted driving played a role.
