Behavioral Competency & Safety Assurance

Our research scientists and engineers assess vehicle responses to physical and virtual scenarios. Vehicle performance is compared to established regulatory values, internally developed behavioral competency values, and safety models. These processes and tools can be used during development or as an added check prior to release to the public.

Operational design domain and technology specific models can be developed with the customer.


The team uses several reachable set safety models in these assessments

  • Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS)
  • Safety Force Field (SFF)
  • Instantaneous Safety Metric (ISM) / Model-Predictive ISM (MPrISM)
