株式会社バーチャルメカニクス

株式会社バーチャルメカニクス（本社：愛知県名古屋市、代表取締役：滝田栄治、以下、「バーチャルメカニクス」）は、Foretifyソフトウェア開発元であるForetellix社から、新たに発表された自動車線維持システム（ALKS）規制のための、世界初の商用ソリューションである新しいALKS検証パッケージがリリースされたことを発表します。

新しいパッケージには、ALKSの安全規制とコンプライアンスフローの共同デモンストレーションが成功した後のMobileye Responsibility-Sensitive Safety（RSS）のサポートが含まれています。新しい検証パッケージは、自動車メーカーがALKS自動運転システムの規制および認証要件に対応するのに役立ちます。

Foretellixは最近、レベル2の運転支援技術からレベル4の高速道路に焦点を合わせた完全自律型ソリューションまで、すぐに使用できる包括的な検証パッケージを提供する新しいADAS＆Highwayソリューションをリリースしました。新しいパッケージの導入により、このソリューションには、世界初のレベル3規制であるUNECEによる新しいALKS規制の初めての商用実装が含まれています。

Mobileyeとの共同デモンストレーションでは、ALKS検証パッケージが必要な規制シナリオとパラメーターを生成し、RSS制御の車両動作に関する測定可能なメトリックを提供しました。パッケージはMobileyeのRSSモデルを使用して、テストされた車両が危険な状況を起動せず、他の車両によって生じた危険な状況に適切に応答することを保証しました。これらのシナリオは、さまざまなパラメータ値にわたって変化し、安全性と規制要件が満たされていることを示しています。

「CoverageDriven検証アプローチとMobileyeのRSSを組み合わせることで、業界を測定可能な安全性の目標に近づけることができることを示すことができて嬉しく思います」と、最高規制担当責任者兼Foretellixの共同創設者であるGil Amidは述べています。

MobileyeのAV規格担当副社長であるJack Weastは、次のように述べています。「規制当局は、車両が合理的に予見可能で回避可能な衝突を防ぐ能力があるかの証明を要求とします。「RSSを使用したForetellixのForetifyアプローチにより、OEM（非常時管理局）は、世界で最も先進的な自動運転規制への準拠を実証することができます。」

OpenSCENARIO 2.0 is about to be released with innovative expressiveness and abstraction to fuel revolutionary automation in AV development and V&V processes. We wanted to see if we could use this automation today, to efficiently validate products’ adherence to the recent UNECE level-3 ALKS regulation.

Foretellix announced today its ALKS regulatory solution, and jointly with Mobileye – demonstrated the use of this solution, combined with an RSS controller to verify full system regulation compliance.

What should you expect from the Foretellix ALKS flow?

  • Efficient scenario creation producing a massive number of tests to accurately capture the ODD’s regulation needs. The scenarios auto-adjust to any desired location or maps, explore the unexpected and unknowns with random intelligent value selections, and are easy to steer to meet user needs using simple spreadsheets.
  • Foretify scenario runtime adjustments monitor the unpredictable autonomous vehicle responses and adjust the other actors’ behavior to meet the user intent. This maximizes the value of each simulation, saves compute and human resources, and shortens the overall verification cycle.
  • Coverage is part of the reporting and a dashboard is presenting what regulation scenarios were actually executed and observed, as opposed to what the test requested. This is especially needed for automation functions like level-3 ALKS where the unpredicted Ego responses may invalidate the test goals.
  • Self-checking scenarios for both the regulatory and RSS rules. The pre-provided checks can be easily refined to meet user needs

It is important to note that in addition to the ALKS regulation package, Foretellix also provides a more extensive ALKS Verification & Validation package that goes beyond the regulatory needs and validates ALKS devices in multiple prone to error edge cases and unknown conditions such as other maneuvers, various road circumstances, stationary objects (like parked vehicles) and more. A comparison between the two packages is provided below.

Mobileye und Foretellix demonstrieren ein mit Sicherheitsbestimmungen konformes Prozedere für automatisierte Fahrsysteme, mithilfe des neuen Spurhalteassistenen-Pakets mit RSS

Tel Aviv, Israel – 19. Oktober, 2020 – Foretellix kündigt heute sein neues ALKS-Überprüfungspaket an. Es handelt sich dabei um die weltweit erste kommerzielle Lösung für die neu angekündigte ALKS-Verordnung (Automatic Lane-Keeping System) der Vereinten Nationen (UN). Das neue Paket beinhaltet die Unterstützung von Mobileye Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS). Zuvor wurde gemeinsam erfolgreich demonstriert, dass der Prüfablauf konform mit ALKS-Sicherheitsvorschriften und Regularien ist. Das neue Überprüfungspaket wird den Autoherstellern helfen, die gesetzlichen Anforderungen und Zertifizierungsvorgaben der automatisierten ALKS-Fahrsysteme zu erfüllen.

Foretellix hat kürzlich seine neuartige ADAS & Highway-Lösung veröffentlicht, die ein sofort einsatzbereites und umfassendes Verifizierungspaket von Fahrerassistenztechnologien bietet: von Stufe 2 bis zu auf die Autobahn ausgerichteten, vollständig autonomen Lösungen der Stufe 4. Mit der Einführung des neuen Pakets umfasst die Lösung nun auch die erste kommerzielle Umsetzung der neuen ALKS-Verordnung durch die UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe), der weltweit ersten Level 3-Verordnung.

In einer gemeinsamen Demonstration mit Mobileye generierte das ALKS-Verifizierungspaket die erforderlichen Regelungsszenarien und -parameter und lieferte messbare Metriken für das RSS-gesteuerte Fahrzeugverhalten. Das Paket griff auf das RSS-Modell von Mobileye zurück, um sicherzustellen, dass das getestete Fahrzeug keine gefährlichen Situationen auslöst und ordnungsgemäß auf gefährliche Situationen reagiert, die von anderen Fahrzeugen ausgelöst wurden. Diese Szenarien wurden über einen weiten Bereich von Parametern variiert, um zu zeigen, dass sowohl die Sicherheit als auch die gesetzlichen Anforderungen erfüllt sind.

„Wir freuen uns zu zeigen, wie unser „Coverage Driven“ Überprüfungs-Ansatz in Kombination mit RSS von Mobileye dazu beiträgt, die Branche dem Ziel messbarer Sicherheit näher zu bringen“, sagte Gil Amid, Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer und Mitbegründer von Foretellix.

„Die Aufsichtsbehörden benötigen den Nachweis, dass ein Fahrzeug in der Lage ist, in vernünftiger Weise vorhersehbare und vermeidbare Kollisionen zu vermeiden“, sagte Jack Weast, Vice President für AV-Standards bei Mobileye. „Der Foretellix Foretify-Ansatz mit Nutzung von RSS bietet OEMs die Möglichkeit, die Einhaltung der weltweit tiefggreifendsten Vorschriften für automatisiertes Fahren zu belegen.“

Mobileye and Foretellix demonstrate safety regulation compliance flow for Automated Driving Systems using new ALKS package with RSS

Tel Aviv, Israel – October 19th, 2020 – Foretellix today announced its new ALKS verification package, the world’s first commercial solution for the newly announced Automatic Lane-Keeping System (ALKS) regulation. The new package includes support of Mobileye Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS) following a successful joint demonstration of ALKS safety regulation and compliance flow. The new verification package will help automakers address the regulatory and certification requirements of ALKS automated driving systems.

Foretellix has recently released its novel ADAS & Highway solution that provides an out-of-the-box, comprehensive verification package from Level 2 driver-assist technologies to Level 4 highway-focused, fully autonomous solutions. With the introduction of the new package, the solution now includes the first-ever commercial implementation of new ALKS regulation by the UNECE, the world’s first Level 3 regulation.

In a joint demonstration with Mobileye, the ALKS verification package generated the required regulation scenarios and parameters and provided measurable metrics on the RSS controlled vehicle behavior. The package used Mobileye’s RSS model to ensure that the tested vehicle does not initiate dangerous situations and properly responds to dangerous situations initiated by other vehicles. These scenarios were varied over a wide range of parameter values, demonstrating that safety, as well as regulatory requirements, are met.

“We are excited to show how our Coverage Driven verification approach, combined with Mobileye’s RSS, helps bring the industry closer to the goal of measurable safety,” said Gil Amid, Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer and Foretellix co-founder.

“Regulators will require proof of a vehicle’s ability to avoid reasonably foreseeable and preventable collisions,” said Jack Weast, Vice President of AV standards at Mobileye. “The Foretellix Foretify approach using RSS gives OEMs a way to demonstrate compliance with the most advanced automated driving regulation in the world.”
