Any new system should demonstrate that it is at leastas safe as the system it replaces
How do we evaluate the safety?
General principle for acceptation
6/8/2016 5
A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work.
Basically, a hazard can cause harm or adverse effects (to individuals as health effects or to organizations as propertyor equipment losses).
Risk is the chance or probability that a person will beharmed or experience an adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment loss.
Hazards and Risks
Risk assessment is the process where you:
• identify hazards,
• analyze or evaluate the risk associated with thathazard, and
• determine appropriate ways to eliminate or minimizethe hazard.
Risk Assesment
10La Rochelle 30/09/2014
• Failure of the vehicle/infrastructure
• Unclement weather
• Improper behavior of other vehicles
• Improper behavior of other road users
• Presence of obstacles on the path
Main hazards for La Rochelle

• Harming passengers
• Harming other road users
• Damage to the vehicle
• Damage to other property
Risks

• Vehicle leaving the standard trajectory
• Vehicle not controling its speed/acceleration/jerk
• Vehicle not stopping properly in case of obstacle
• Vehicle catching fire
• Vehicle emitting dangerous gases
• Vehicle with exposed high voltage
• …..

Risks reduction
• Apply ISO 13482 and/or Machinery Directive
• Stop if vehicle leaves the track
• Avoid fixed obstacle close to trajectory
• Limit access to vehicle trajectory
• Limit speed of vehicles and other users
• Minimal distance to a suddenly appearing VRU
• Avoid path close to hidden passageways
• Speed should be adjusted according to MMODD and maximum speed of VRU
• Put obstacles to reduce the speed of VRUs
• MMODD depends on the very precise path of the cybercars
• MMODD depends on the sensor suite
Minimal mobile object detection distances (MMODD)
6/8/2016 17
• The vehicle must stop if it deviates from its trajectoryby a set distance (see specifications)
• For safety evaluation, it is important to see if there isany probability to hit a dangerous obstacle
• This depends on the MSD and the speed of the vehicle
• We selected the maximum speed of the vehicleaccording to the MSD on each section
Minimal Safety Distance (MSD)
