Abstract: A method for identifying scenarios of interest for development, verification and/or validation of an ADS of vehicle. Obtaining risk map of surrounding environment of vehicle, risk map is formed based on actuation capability of vehicle and location of free-space areas in surrounding environment. The actuation capability comprises uncertainty estimation for actuation capability and location of free-space areas comprises uncertainty estimation for estimated location of free-space areas. Risk map includes risk parameter for each of a plurality of area segments comprised in surrounding environment of vehicle. Determining compounded risk value of ADS based on risk parameters of a set of area segments of risk map. Monitoring scenario trigger by monitoring at least one of determined compounded risk value against compounded risk trigger threshold, a development of risk map over time against a map volatility trigger threshold, and a development of compounded risk value over time against a risk volatility threshold.

Abstract: A control system and a method for estimating a risk exposure of an automated driving system (ADS) of a vehicle. Obtaining an actuation capability of the vehicle, wherein the obtained actuation capability includes an uncertainty estimation for the actuation capability. Obtaining a location of free-space areas in the surrounding environment of the vehicle, wherein the obtained location of free-space areas comprises an uncertainty estimation for the estimated location of free-space areas. Forming a risk map of the surrounding environment of the vehicle based on the obtained actuation capability and the obtained location of free-space areas, wherein the risk map includes a risk parameter for each of a plurality of area segments included in the surrounding environment of the vehicle. Determining a total risk value of the ADS based on the risk parameters of a set of area segments intersected by at least one planned path of the ADS.

Abstract: A path planning method and system for a vehicle. The method includes obtaining risk map of a surrounding environment of vehicle. Risk map is formed based on an actuation capability of the vehicle and location of free-space areas in the surrounding environment, actuation capability including uncertainty estimation for actuation capability and the location of free-space areas comprising an uncertainty estimation for the estimated location of free-space areas. Risk map includes risk parameter for each of a plurality of area segments included in the surrounding environment of the vehicle. Obtaining at least one candidate path for vehicle, determining total risk value for each candidate path based on risk parameters of a set of area segments intersected by the at least one path, selecting a candidate path, of at least one candidate path, fulfilling a risk value criterion, and generating, at an output, a first signal indicative of selected candidate path.
