The Quantifying the Operating Conditions of Automated Driving
Systems (ADS)-Equipped Vehicles Using Operational Design Domain (ODD)
Elements project was sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) through award number NIST 70NANB20H200. For more information,

Statement of Relevance and Benefit to the General Public:
Understanding the conditions in which ADSs will and will not operate
is fundamental to their success and to the safety of all road users. The
Quantifying the Operating Conditions of ADS-Equipped Vehicles Using ODD Elements
project developed an initial foundational tool for developing an
ADS-equipped vehicle safety measurement methodology and supports further
conversations around ODD elements and quantifying the ADS operational
environment.
This tool was designed to communicate the interconnectedness of ODD
elements utilizing the NIST Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Framework
(Griffor et al., 2017). The demonstrates how currently available
datasets can be integrated and used by stakeholders to objectively
measure key ODD elements, evaluate initial assumptions, begin to
establish baseline measurements, and how ODD information could be made
available to the larger development community.
