  • Publication number: 20250065919
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated driving system for switching between automated driving mode and manual driving mode in an automated driving situation, and a fallback method for an automated driving failure situation in the automated driving system. According to the present invention, the method comprises the steps of predicting whether, on a route a vehicle is traveling, the vehicle will deviate from an operational design domain (ODD) in which automated driving is possible; and when deviation is predicted, performing a minimal risk maneuver (MRM) process for controlling the vehicle to respond to an automated driving failure situation at a deviation point. According to the present invention, the stability of the automated driving system in emergency situations may be increased, and by proposing a stable mode-switching method for the automated driving system, the best response method may be provided.
