Towards a Completeness Argumentation for Scenario Concepts (2404.01934v1)
Abstract: Scenario-based testing has become a promising approach to overcome the complexity of real-world traffic for safety assurance of automated vehicles. Within scenario-based testing, a system under test is confronted with a set of predefined scenarios. This set shall ensure more efficient testing of an automated vehicle operating in an open context compared to real-world testing. However, the question arises if a scenario catalog can cover the open context sufficiently to allow an argumentation for sufficiently safe driving functions and how this can be proven. Within this paper, a methodology is proposed to argue a sufficient completeness of a scenario concept using a goal structured notation. Thereby, the distinction between completeness and coverage is discussed. For both, methods are proposed for a streamlined argumentation and regarding evidence. These methods are applied to a scenario concept and the inD dataset to prove the usability.
