The SUNRISE Safety Assurance Framework (SAF) is a harmonized structure of methods, tools and metrics that allows users to determine whether a CCAM system is safe enough for deployment on the pubic road (or not).

The SAF is based on the multi-pillar approach from UNECE’s New Assessment/Test Method for Automated Driving (NATM).

The Performance Assurance block includes methods and tools that:

  • Create, format, store and extract relevant scenarios
  • Allocate relevant scenarios to different test environments
  • Execute relevant scenarios in different test environments
  • Analyse and evaluate test results
  • Elaborate evidence-based safety argumentation and decisions

The Performance Assurance block applies a scenario-based approach and incorporates virtual, hybrid- and physical test environments. In addition, it features the SUNRISE Data Framework which allows users to obtain scenarios from multiple qualified scenario databases.

At a high level, the Performance Assurance block comprises the Scenario, Environment, and Safety argument sub-blocks. Together, these sub-blocks assesses whether the CCAM system performs safely within its ODD. This assessment is based on the use of Scenarios, executed in a wide variety of test Environments. Subsequent test results are rigorously evaluated to come to a Safety argument and decision.
