Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for controlling a moveable device utilizing risk control barrier functions. In one example, a system for controlling a moveable device includes a processor and memory containing programming executable by the processor. The programming is configured to receive various information about the moveable device and receive a risk tolerance for a user and calculate a risk control barrier function. The programming is configured to receive a command from the user to alter the state of the moveable device; calculate a dynamic coherent risk measurement based on the risk tolerance of the user and in respect to the risk control barrier function in respect to the command from the user to alter the state of the moveable device; determine whether the dynamic coherence risk measurement is beyond a tuning parameter at the current state of the moveable device.
