Behavioral Competency & Safety Assurance

Our Research Scientists and Engineers conduct assessments of a vehicle’s response to the Scenario both physically and virtually.  The performance is compared to established regulatory values, internally developed behavioral competency values, and safety models.  These are processes and tools that can be used during development or as an added check prior to release to the public.

Operating Design Domain and technology specific models can be developed with the customer.


The team uses several reachable set safety models in these assessments

  • Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS)
  • Safety Force Field (SFF)
  • Instantaneous Safety Metric (ISM) / Model-Predictive ISM (MPrISM)
