IEEE Recommended Practice for the Application of Assumptions on Reasonably Foreseeable Behavior of Other Road Users in Safety-Related Models

Guidelines for applying the assumptions defined in IEEE 2846™-2022 in safety-related models during the development, testing, and deployment of automated driving systems (ADS) are provided in this recommended practice. Approaches to identify values for the applicable IEEE 2846-2022 assumptions given the scenario context; approaches for identifying reasonably foreseeable values for these assumptions given the scenario context and for updating these assumptions across the temporal evolution of a scenario; and approaches to validate the selection of assumptions through an analysis of the output of the safety-related model, considering different kinds of performance objectives of interest, are specifically covered.
